Under Democratic leadership, the Somali migrant community in Minnesota has become a hotbed of fraudulent activity, which some elected leaders have enabled rather than punished.

In one egregious example, a Hennepin County judge ruled last week to overturn a jury's verdict to convict a Somali accused of defrauding state taxpayers out of more than $7 million in Medicaid funds, according to Breitbart.

This is just one of the several reasons why President Donald Trump has taken action and called for more to address the increasingly rampant fraud that, more so than any other, now plagues Minnesota's Somali migrant community.

Convicted of fraud by a jury

Local NBC affiliate KARE reported that a jury decided in August that Abdifatah Yusuf was guilty of stealing approximately $7.2 million in taxpayer funds by way of Medicaid overbilling fraud.

Prosecutors argued, and the jury believed, that Yusuf and his wife, Lul Ahmed, fraudulently ran a purported home healthcare company known as Promise Health out of a mailbox at an address that also allegedly hosted several other home healthcare companies.

The state's attorneys presented evidence that the couple spent tens of thousands of dollars of the pilfered taxpayer funds on various luxury items for themselves.

"It was not a difficult decision whatsoever," the jury's foreperson, Ben Walfoort, told the outlet. "The deliberation took probably four hours at most. Based off of the state's evidence that was presented, it was beyond a reasonable doubt."

Jury's verdict overturned by judge

Last week, however, Democratic Hennepin County Judge Sarah West determined on her own that the jury reached the wrong decision and tossed the guilty verdict, issuing an order of acquittal for Yusuf.

According to an independent analysis of West's ruling, the judge asserted that prosecutors had "relied heavily on circumstantial evidence" and neglected to consider "reasonable theories other than guilt in this case."

"I am shocked," Walfoort said of the reversal. "I'm shocked based off of all of the evidence that was presented to us and the obvious guilt that we saw based off of the said evidence."

Another unnamed juror told KARE, "We didn't take our job lightly. We went through a lot of evidence and discussed a lot, took our time, but we all came to an agreement pretty easily."

To his minimal credit, progressive Democratic Attorney General Keith Ellison has signaled that his office will appeal the judge's decision to overturn the jury's verdict, per Breitbart. Meanwhile, KARE noted that Republican lawmakers are now looking into whether state laws can be strengthened to ensure that other fraud cases don't slip through the cracks.

Trump has had enough

It was just days ago that President Trump, in reference to similar accounts of widespread fraud in Minnesota's Somali migrant community, wrote in a Truth Social post, "Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity."

"I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota," the president added. "Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!"
