US EditionLawmakers request DOJ probe into whether Somali fraud and ICE protests are linked
The House Oversight Committee cites $9 billion in welfare fraud involving Somali immigrants and seeks DOJ probe into links with Minnesota protests and law enforcement obstruction.
- On Monday, the U.S. House Oversight Committee asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether Somali welfare fraud is linked to Minnesota protests, lawmakers said.
- Estimated $9 billion welfare fraud was uncovered in October, and by December nearly 100 people, including 85 Somali immigrants, faced charges for enrolling ineligible people and falsely claiming autism benefits.
- Lawmakers warned the scope suggests fraud proceeds may be laundered through nonprofits and urged DOJ scrutiny of organized obstruction involving foreign-sourced funding.
- On Tuesday, March 3, protests erupted after a Minnesota resident was fatally shot during ICE enforcement, which officials say helps curb fraud linked to immigrant communities.
- The scale of alleged losses prompts federal oversight bodies to scrutinize federal funds and investigate whether large-scale welfare fraud involves organized efforts linked to protests.
