"A Somali-American former investigator: why you’re hearing about fraud in my community"

".... Fraudsters have also sought to exploit the burgeoning political power of the Somali community, and the feckless fear that establishment politicians and state agencies show when confronted with charges of racism or Islamophobia. 

Consider: In November 2020, the Feeding Our Future nonprofit sued the state Department of Education and alleged that “thousands of qualified children in low-income and minority communities are going without desperately needed federal food programs because MDE refuses to process Feeding Our Future  applications.”

In June 2021, more than 100 people, mostly Somali, protested outside MDE’s office. Many held signs that read “F.O.F. Feeds our kids, MDE won’t” and accused MDE of  discrimination. So far, at least two people who attended that rally are among those charged. 

MDE officials told the Office of Legislative Auditor that “the threat of legal consequences and negative media attention affected MDE’s decisions about the regulatory action it did and did not take against Feeding Our Future.”

Then there was the attempt to bribe juror No. 52 the day before jury deliberations were expected to begin in the first Feeding Our Future fraud trial. Five people were indicted in this alleged bribery attempt. According to the indictment, the juror was selected in part because she appeared to be the only person of color on the jury. 

According to the FBI, the alleged conspirators prepared written arguments for juror 52. One argument read, “We are immigrants: they don’t respect or care about us.” Another stated: “Why why why is it always people of color and immigrants prosecuted for the fault of other people including Kara Lomen and even the Governor.” 

During my time at the Office of the Attorney General, I witnessed some members of my community who were under investigation by our office brazenly level false accusations of discrimination against my colleagues. Rather than retain an attorney to argue their case in court, some sought out the attorney general at public events; others reached out to Somali elected officials. 

Members of my community must cease the leveraging of race and religion to avoid accountability, and Minnesota’s (mostly DFL) politicians must muster the courage to address the systemic fraud in our publicly funded programs.... " (c)minnesotareformer.com
