On Newsmax’s American Agenda and in a Department of State briefing, Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott told Americans what many of us suspected: fraud tied to social‑service and education programs in Minnesota’s Somali community has been extensive enough to warrant serious federal scrutiny. Pigott’s appearance underscored that this is no longer rumor or partisanship; this is now a matter of law enforcement and federal policy being discussed at the highest levels.
Federal prosecutors have already shown the rot in the system, pursuing massive schemes that abused programs meant for our most vulnerable children. The Feeding Our Future case and related prosecutions revealed industrial‑scale theft from child nutrition and other education‑adjacent programs, with dozens charged and significant prison sentences handed down to those who exploited pandemic-era flexibilities. Taxpayers deserve to see the full force of justice applied to these brazen thefts.
This scandal is not isolated to bookkeeping tricks; reputable reporting and federal inquiries show the problem is widespread enough to trigger multi‑agency responses, including Treasury and HHS investigations into whether billions were misused and how money flowed through the system. Americans rightly demand answers about where our dollars went and whether weak oversight and politically correct blind spots allowed this fraud to grow unchecked. The seriousness of these federal probes should be a wakeup call for every official who shrugged at warning signs.
There is also a clear legal pathway for consequences beyond prison time for fraudsters who obtained immigration benefits through deception: U.S. law allows denaturalization when citizenship was procured by concealment or willful misrepresentation. If evidence proves that individuals lied or schemed to gain status, then revocation is an appropriate remedy, not a political vendetta. Law‑abiding Americans expect equal treatment under the law, and that means losing benefits obtained through fraud.
Local officials in Minnesota must answer for oversight failures and for allowing a nonprofit and charter landscape to become vectors for abuse; state authorities are already facing pressure to crack down, and the voters there deserve accountability and reform now. The Star Tribune and other outlets have documented systemic problems in oversight and outcomes, underscoring that this is about governance, not ethnicity. Minnesota leaders should stop playing politics and start protecting taxpayers and children.
Hardworking Americans from every background pay for schools, meals, and social services, and we will not stand by while those resources are stolen. Conservative patriots believe in rule of law, fair play, and secure borders — and that includes using every lawful tool to strip ill‑gotten benefits from fraudsters and to rebuild honest, accountable systems. If the evidence shows citizenship or benefits were obtained by fraud, then swift denaturalization, prosecution, and recovery of taxpayer funds are the right and patriotic course of action.
