Let me ask you something: how angry do you get when you see your tax dollars wasted? Now imagine learning they might have funded terrorism. Hard-working Americans across the nation are rightfully concerned about where their tax dollars go, especially when it comes to social welfare programs. In Minnesota, a disturbing pattern has emerged over the past five years—one that involves hundreds of millions in fraudulent claims, systematic suppression of internal warnings, and a governor who seemingly prioritized political optics over protecting taxpayer funds.

The scope of this scandal goes beyond typical government waste. Federal investigators have uncovered schemes so brazen that they’ve resulted in 78 defendants charged and over 50 convictions in what prosecutors call one of the largest pandemic-era fraud cases in the country. But the real bombshell isn’t just the fraud itself—it’s who’s now stepping forward to expose it.

From The Post Millennial:

More than 400 self-identified employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) have publicly accused Gov. Tim Walz of ignoring internal warnings about fraud, retaliating against whistleblowers, and enabling a culture in which concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. This comes after reports that many in the Somali community of Minnesota have been committing fraud to take advantage of taxpayer supported services.

Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression,… https://t.co/cEtbnuKmgn

Here’s the kicker—these aren’t partisan critics or political opponents making these claims. No, these are Walz’s own people. More than 400 self-identified employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services have broken their silence to confirm what President Trump has been saying all along. When Trump recently called out Gov. Tim Walz for his handling of fraud in Minnesota’s Somali community, even going so far as to call him “retarded,” the media rushed to condemn the harsh language. But now, hundreds of Walz’s own employees are essentially saying, “Actually, the president had a point.”

The Systematic Cover-Up

The employees paint a damning picture of an administration that didn’t just ignore fraud—it actively suppressed those trying to stop it. According to their public statement, DHS workers who raised red flags about fraudulent activity were met with the kind of retaliation you’d expect in a third-world dictatorship, not the American Midwest. Agency leaders appointed by Walz allegedly “willfully disregarded rules and laws” to keep fraud reports from surfacing.

This wasn’t a case of simple oversight or bureaucratic inefficiency. The whistleblowers describe a culture where investigating fraud was discouraged because administrators feared appearing “discriminatory or politically motivated.” They were more afraid of being called racist than of funding terrorism. The result? Over $250 million stolen in the Feeding Our Future scandal alone, with federal sources indicating some funds may have been transferred to Somalia and even the terror group Al-Shabaab.

Following the Money

President Trump’s response was swift and decisive, announcing he would terminate Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota and directly linking it to “fraudulent money laundering activity.” While Walz condemned Trump’s comments as “damaging” and claimed they normalize “hateful behavior,” his own employees’ testimony suggests the real damage was done by his administration’s willful blindness to fraud. Funny how the truth becomes “hateful” when it’s politically inconvenient, isn’t it?

These Minnesota employees have done what their governor wouldn’t: put truth and taxpayer protection above political considerations. Their plea for federal intervention represents not just a cry for help, but a warning to all Americans about what happens when ideology supersedes integrity in government. As this scandal continues to unfold, one thing is crystal clear: sometimes the harshest criticism turns out to be the most accurate. And maybe, just maybe, we should start listening to the people willing to say the uncomfortable truths before another quarter-billion dollars disappears.

Key Takeaways

• Over 400 Minnesota state employees confirm Trump was right about Walz enabling massive fraud
• Whistleblowers report systematic retaliation for exposing $250+ million in stolen taxpayer funds
• Political correctness prevented fraud investigations while money potentially reached terrorist groups
• Government employees plead for federal intervention after years of internal suppression
