The cash moved overseas in luggage by Somali couriers from the Minneapolis airport was 10 to 100 times larger than the total foreign exodus of money at other larger American airports the last two years, officials tell Just the News.
Homeland Security Department officials said the statistics they have gathered in recent weeks show the movement of cash out of Minnesota was substantially abnormal and should have raised red flags during the Biden administration, long before the Trump administration began investigating it as part of a major fraud scheme that stole billions from taxpayers in the state.

Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison (D.) is reportedly considering a run for governor following Tim Walz’s (D.) exit from the race amid a sprawling Somali welfare fraud scheme that happened under his watch. A person familiar with Ellison’s thinking told the Star Tribune that the left-wing prosecutor is weighing a gubernatorial bid. In the wake of Walz’s decision to end his campaign, Ellison called Walz a "remarkable leader" who left a "legacy to be damn proud of."
Ellison’s interest in the race comes as he faces mounting scrutiny over his own handling of the Somali welfare fraud scandal.

House appropriators plan to strike Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s $1 million earmark for a Somali-led organization from the lower chamber’s funding package Wednesday, as the presence of the carveout threatened to tank the shutdown-preventing bill.
Omar’s earmark was for Generation Hope’s “Justice Empowerment Initiative” in her district and was tucked into the Commerce, Science, and Justice minibus, which will provide funding for the Commerce, Energy, Interior, and Justice departments, in addition to other related agencies. Republican Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, who chairs the Appropriations Committee, told reporters he cannot allow one member’s project to derail a carefully negotiated full-year funding bill with the Jan. 30 funding deadline fast approaching.

“Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings appeared to take a swipe at President Donald Trump and his administration, saying he’d support a candidate who vows to prosecute the current “regime.”
Jennings took to the liberal social media platform Bluesky Wednesday during a news cycle dominated by the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis.
“The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028,” Jennings wrote.
On Tuesday, he appeared to knock Trump’s policy on Venezuela, writing on Bluesky, “America is always like ‘ok but the NEXT regime change will work,’ like when I ‘cut out carbs’ briefly every January.”

The Somali-dominated Democratic political machine in Minnesota successfully silenced hundreds of government experts who tracked the huge flow of taxpayer funds through Somali-run businesses, a top Minnesota Republican told a House hearing on Wednesday.
Up to 1,000 government auditors, accountants, and program managers were silenced by Democratic threats, Minnesota House Rep. Marion Rarick told a House hearing:
The most severe ones was that they would be fired with cause so they couldn’t have unemployment insurance, that they would be blacklisted from all state agencies… [including] Hennepin County, Ramsey County. As you know, those are Democrat-run.
Many government experts, non-government professionals, and Republicans detected many of the frauds, but their voices were muffled

Spencer Pratt has revealed he will run for Mayor of Los Angeles - one year after wildfires devastated California and destroyed his home.
The reality star, 42, who is wed to Heidi Montag, 39, made the bombshell announcement as he attended the They Let Us Burn! protest in the Palisades on Wednesday.
Pratt told the New York Post: 'The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling, it’s fundamentally broken. It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done

Federal officials have begun investigating the long-ignored shipping of at least $700 million in U.S. cash by Somalis in air travel luggage out of Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport.
Witnesses say that the cash was legally flown out to Somalia and other countries and that TSA routinely flagged the money to their superiors. The cash, in bundles of $1 million or more, were packed in passenger luggage and shown to airport security officials by migrants flying back to Somalia-area airports, as well as other African countries and places in the Middle East.
Biden’s officials did not try to investigate any of these massive cash transfers during his term in office.

YouTuber Nick Shirley released a video Monday alleging that Minnesota’s medical transport system is riddled with fraud.
In December, Shirley posted video showing several purported Somali-run daycare centers in Minnesota — including one that reportedly received $4 million in taxpayer funds — with no children present on site. In a video posted on his channel, Shirley said his yearlong review identified roughly 1,200 medical transportation outfits operating across the state. This was an investigation he conducted together with David, who he says played an important role in helping to expose large-scale fraud in Minnesota. Shirley says David contributed research, documentation, and firsthand insight.
“And so to have that many non-emergency medical transportation

The FBI received a tip in the days following January 6 who identified themself as a "former friend," claiming to have recognized Christine Crowder, a Texas Catholic school teacher and the wife of senior federal air marshal Mark Crowder, from news footage taken on January 6 at the Capitol.
The FBI opened a full investigation into Crowder later that year, recommending

Weeks after the Trump Media and Technology Group announced a merger with nuclear power company TAE Technologies, the new organization has unveiled plans for a fusion plant in the US — aiming to make it the biggest power generation site in the world. On Tuesday morning, the company unveiled criteria for selecting the building site of the new project. CEO Devin Nunes tells me they are accepting applications from state and local governments — much like Amazon HQ did — and will make a decision within weeks, with construction to begin later this year. And Nunes is clear about one thing:

Facing up to five years in prison for helping a violent illegal immigrant escape ICE officers, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan is resigning. But even with the felony conviction on her record, Dugan will receive a generous taxpayer-funded retirement no matter what happens next.
A federal jury last month found Dugan guilty on the obstruction charge for the April 18 incident in which the leftist judge escorted Eduardo Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to the “jury door,” allowing the illegal alien to briefly flee from Department of Homeland Security agents.

President Donald Trump has expanded his regulatory curbs on migration to 39 countries, and the new rules could slash the inflow of Islamic migrants by 40 percent, according to the pro-migration Cato Institute.
Yet pro-migration advocates have been almost silent about the dramatic new rules, even though they staged frenzied 2017 protests against a “Muslim travel ban” when Trump imposed softer curbs in his first year in office. For example, the National Immigration Law Center issued a mere three-sentence condemnation when the new rules were first announced.
The progressive passivity is notable, said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “No question, and [the 2026 rule] is much broader too,”
