(4,075 posts)does that have anything at all to do with the protests? is anyone in the street demanding welfare fraud?
didn't think so.
if he wants to deport the murderers and rapists i'm ok with that, but treat them humanely and due process.

(4,075 posts)these people are out of control.
more people have been deported than total rapes and murders committed.
i'm coming to the conclusion that these guys don't need us and don't want to feed us. "no need to waste bullets, put rfk in charge of health care"

Yes they keep inventing new ways to kill us.

(129,585 posts)and the perpetrators were charged, tried and convicted. Most of the people involved were (legal) Somali immigrants, but the mastermind was a white local woman. It was a big case - a lot of money in the form of federal covid relief funds was stolen when the perps set up fake charities supposedly providing food for low-income children. But that case is over and done with, and the attorney who was managing the prosecution resigned from the US Attorneys office when DoJ directed him to investigate Renee Good and her wife as "insurrectionists." Then a right-wing provocateur claimed that immigrant-run day care centers were fake and defrauding the government because they weren't allowed to come in and film the children - even though no reputable day care center would ever allow strangers to come in, let alone video the children. They are not interested in investigating fraud, but they are using these fraud claims as an excuse to try to deport all Somalis, most of whom are US citizens and have been for years.
The invasion and occupation of MN by ICE and CBP has nothing to do with fraud or immigration.

(54,333 posts)The move, which will see Homan report back directly to Trump, cuts across DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who is under increasing pressure after deadly clashes between federal immigration enforcement officers and protesters.
Homan is seen as a potential rival to Noem for her role.

The acrimony is so deep between President Trump's border czar and his homeland security secretary that the two officials barely speak to or meet with each other, insiders tell Axios.
Why it matters: Tensions reached such a fever pitch last week that the White House was swamped with rumors and news stories claiming that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had lost Trump's favor and was on her way out.
Reality check: Neither Noem nor Homan are going anywhere, according to administration officials inside and outside the White House. Trump has shown no signs of wanting a change.

(7,424 posts)He likes to keep them at each other's throats, constantly vying for his favor, which means they amp up their ass-kissing and clownish genuflecting to the maximum level. The Homan - Noem conflict is precisely a fascist production where the bureau-chief lieges bicker endlessly to the benefit of the dictator.

Then shithole and comrades starting bad mouthing Somalians, and the next thing that happened, they sent in over 1,000 ICE agents.

"Reports around Omars finances are not new, with her net worth jumping as high as $30 million first reported in late summer/early fall 2025 after her 2024 disclosure to the Clerk of the House of Representatives."
"The publicly available documents showed that for several years, Omar had relatively modest personal wealth, and debts including student loans and credit cards. For 2022 and 2023, her net worth was listed as below $250,000."
"The shift in wealth in 2024 largely came from businesses tied to Omars husband, Tim Mynett, a former political consultant. The first, eStCru LLC, a California winery, was listed as worth between $1 million and $5 million, while Rose Lake Capital, a venture capital firm, was listed as worth between $5 million and $25 million."
"No evidence has emerged connecting Omar's finances to the (welfare) fraud schemes."
https://www.newsweek.com/ilhan-omar-net-worth-scrutiny-11284678
Apparently, Omar recently married Tim Mynett, a wealthy venture capitalist, and her net worth increased dramatically.
