Walz Looked Away While Somali Fraudsters Looted $1 Billion in Child Food Aid

Rapid Response

Tim Walz watched as more than $1 billion meant to feed Minnesota children was siphoned off in one of the largest fraud schemes in national history — and he did nothing to stop it.
 


 

The fraud was carried out through a network of nonprofits, many operating within the Somali community, that claimed they were:

  • Feeding tens of thousands of hungry children
  • Providing services to the homeless
  • Providing therapy for autistic Somali children

Instead, the money went to kickbacksluxury purchases, overseas transfers — and to individuals allegedly  tied to a terror organization.

Walz and Minnesota Democrats were warned. They knew the system was being abused. And they allowed it to continue because they feared political backlash more than they cared about protecting Minnesota children from losing critical resources.

Ahead of the 2026 midterms, Democrats are dangerously clinging onto the idea that putting illegals over the American people is somehow a "winning" strategy, but they are causing real families real pain.
