Loading ...I’m glad you questioned that. So during a search I discovered you can find plenty to share like the iceberg, what’s underneath is much bigger. I couldn’t find the post but not feeling well today. So I asked Google not Chat of AI because they could have changed the names ‘ to protect the innocent ” and was overwhelmed how busy law enforcement was with restaurants particulary by foreign nationals. More so Hispanic names used as trafficking illegals to the US, drugs, even a quick one on weapons through restaurants.
So I specially looked for somali. and a bunch showed up there too but as far as drugs some name not familiar with. Khat or something. Both searched went on forever no quick answer.
Then I asked AI and there was a snippet but no details you’ll see at the end…
- Fraud Scandals: The most prominent criminal activities uncovered in Minnesota related to the Somali community have centered on large-scale fraud schemes, particularly the “Feeding Our Future” child nutrition program fraud, which allegedly involved the misuse of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds. Over 50 people have been convicted in this case alone, with a total of 98 individuals charged across various welfare and housing fraud schemes.
- Sex Trafficking Gangs: Federal prosecutors have also targeted Somali migrant gangs involved in one of the largest sex trafficking rings, transporting girls across state lines.
- Links to Drugs/Weapons: In the sex trafficking cases, money generated from the illegal activities was reportedly used by the gangs to purchase drugs and weapons. One snippet mentions a recent raid by the FBI and DEA seizing fentanyl pills and cash, though specific details on the network size were not provided.
