Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Gov. Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots.

In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the al Qaeda-linked terrorist group Al-Shabab.

Should American K–12 students be taught, without informing their parents, to sympathize with terrorists? Of course not.

But that’s exactly what’s happening in K–12 schools across the country, thanks to instructional materials supplied by the California-based nonprofit Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA) and unearthed by Defending Education.

The cornerstone of the American project is the principle of justice administered under the Rule of Law.

Our civic allegiance is not to a monarch, a tribal leader, a church canon, or any specific religious doctrine, but to the Constitution and the rich legal system that flows from the Western tradition.

This essential truth has been under threat from an abhorrent and highly destructive development, which has been exacerbated in recent decades by the challenges of mass migration and failed assimilation policies: the proliferation of private religious arbitration centers, most commonly known as Sharia Councils.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Friday he is “immediately” ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalis living in Minnesota.
In a post to Truth Social, Trump wrote Minnesota is “a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity” and called out “Somali gangs.”

“It’s OVER!” the president wrote.

TPS is a legal status granted by the Department of Homeland Security allowing foreign nationals to live in the U.S. if returning to their home country puts them in harm’s way. Somalia’s status has been in effect since 1991 and is due to expire in March.
