Mind of a Somali Scammer (Photo H/T: Jess Sosnoski – Telegram Defiant America)
Thanks to some journalistic grunt work by Nick Shirley,
Americans are becoming aware of ongoing Somali scam fraud that has probably
been occurring for decades. The fraud is so blatant that it might replace the
notoriety of the old Nigerian Scam that has been around for decades. What
makes the Somali Scam so insidious is rather than scamming individuals as the
Nigerian Scam, the Somalis scam targets State and Federal taxpayer funding.
WHICH MEANS of course the Dems are undoubtedly complicit in the very least not
paying attention. My suspicion some Dems might be directly involved in
protecting Somali Scammer (cough - Ilhan Omar).
Leftist fact-checking website are quick to get Barack Hussein Obama off the hook for importing Somali immigrants to Minnesota. But let’s take a look at a chart of Somali placement in America from theworlddata.com posted under the title, “Somali Immigrant Statistics in US 2025 | Key Facts” on 12/6/25:

As you look at this chart, NOTE the Obama years are from 2008-2016. And the installed Biden era is 2021-2025. THAT’S A LOT OF DEM-INSPIRED SOMALIS!
Keep in mind theworlddata.com post is trying to paint a rosy picture of Somali adaptation to American culture which is a lie! Essentially the Somalis have brought a Sharia-Muslim third-world culture to America resistant to ASSIMILATION to American Culture. Essentially theworlddata.com is telling look at the numbers through the lie of rich adaptation.
I’m on board with House Republican Whip Tom Emmer (R-Wis.) calling for the deportation of Somalis involved with the criminal fraud scam against American Taxpayers as reported by The Hill 12/30/25:
o Top Republican calling for deportation of ‘every Somali engaged in fraud in Minnesota’; By Sarah Fortinsky; The Hill; 12/30/25 9:44 AM ET
First four paragraphs:
“House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Wis.) called for the deportation of all Somalis linked to fraud in Minnesota, amid heightened scrutiny of the state’s handling of the illegal activity.
In a post on the social platform X, Emmer said even naturalized citizens should have their citizenship revoked so they can be deported. The lawmaker added that he is willing to pass legislation to make such a move legal.
“I have three words regarding Somalis who have committed fraud against American taxpayers: Send them home. If they’re here illegally, deport them immediately; if they’re naturalized citizens, revoke their citizenship and deport them quickly thereafter,” the No. 3 House Republican wrote. “If we need to change the law to do that, I will.”
“Our nation will not tolerate those who take advantage of our charity and refuse to assimilate into our culture,” he added.”

EXC: Walz-Tied Somali Nonprofit Founder Awarded Millions In Government Grants Leads PAC Funding Radical Democrats Like Keith Ellison
December 29, 2025
Minnesota’s nonprofit-industrial complex is under the hottest law-enforcement spotlight in years, and not just because of the Feeding Our Future case.
While federal prosecutors keep stacking new fraud cases across state programs, a separate but related pipeline is hiding in plain sight: taxpayer-funded “community” nonprofits that sit next to political spending vehicles explicitly built to “buy access” to elected officials.
This scandal involves high-level Democrats, rising all the way up to the levels of Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison.
One example now deserves a closer look: Isuroon, a Minneapolis nonprofit that received a $3,000,000 state earmark, and SAWPAC (Somali American Women Political Action Committee), a 501(c)(4) group that openly describes itself as a way to pool money so political leaders “start paying attention.”
1) The $3,000,000 carve-out: “Isuroon” in black-and-white state law
Minnesota legislative text shows a straight-up earmark for Isuroon:
A 2025 bill text (SF 3452) states $3,000,000 “for a grant to Isuroon” tied to predesign, design, construction, and renovation for property at 1600 East Lake Street in Minneapolis to carry out a mission described in the bill as supporting immigrant women and providing mental health counseling.
The bill also states that remaining money after the project is completed may be used for a specialty care center in the metro area.
“Founded in 2010, Isuroon is a women-led organization empowering Somali women in Minnesota. We provide access to health, financial literacy, civic engagement, and leadership programs,” explains the group’s About Us page. “Our mission is to support Somali women in overcoming barriers, navigating healthcare systems, and advocating for their well-being,” it continues before outlining how they leverage the “courage of Somali women” to battle racism.

2) The political machine next to it: SAWPAC
Somali American Women Political Action Committee (SAWPAC) describes its mission as “empowering Somali American women to take an active role in the political process.”
“SAWPAC works with political leaders throughout Minnesota to ensure they hear the voices of Somali women and families and our diverse needs are addressed,” they continue before listing out their top priorities:
§ Combatting the Dehumanization of Muslim Women and Their Families
§ Immigrants and Refugee Rights
§ Educational Equity
§ Reproductive Rights for Muslim Women and Their Families
In SAWPAC’s “Our Plan,” the group says its goal is ensuring advocates have “access to elected officials,” adding:
“It is no secret that money buys access to political leaders.”
They say SAWPAC is a way to pool resources “to make sure that political leaders hear our communities’ concerns and start paying attention when we speak.” They also describe building a database of advocates to “call, email, text, and meet directly with elected officials.”
3) Isuroon’s Ties To SAWPAC
Here’s where the trail tightens.
The CEO and Founder of Isuroon is the Chair of SAWPAC.
In Minnesota Campaign Finance Board meeting materials (August 2020), a message about a late SAWPAC filing shows Fartun Weli copied on the email — with an isuroon.org email address.
Separately, SAWPAC’s own fundraiser post says:
“This event is curated by the Somali American Women Political Action Committee that is chaired by Fartun Weli.”
4) Who SAWPAC supports: their endorsement list is heavily Democratic-coded
SAWPAC’s candidate page lists four “Minnesota Candidates” it supports:
§ MN Attorney General – Keith Ellison
§ MN Senate – Jim Abeler (R) [Blog Editor: This guy has to be a RINO]
§ MN Senate – John Hoffman (DFL)
§ Hennepin County Sheriff – Dawanna Witt
SAWPAC also published a post promoting a fundraiser honoring Keith Ellison’s re-election, identifying Weli as chair and listing committee members.
Recent examples of candidate support include:
§ $2,500 to Ellison, Keith Atty Gen Committee (12/29/2022)
§ $1,000 to Hassan, Hodan House Committee (01/02/2023)
§ $1,000 to Neighbors for Farhio (Khalif) (07/15/2022)
§ $500 to RenaforRep (Rena Moran) (10/29/2021)
§ $1,000 to Berg (Kaela Jo) for MN (09/21/2020)
5) The Tim Walz Tie
Gov. Tim Walz participated in the inaugural “Somali Day at the Capitol” on May 2, 2023 at the Minnesota State Capitol. Coverage of the event in local media identifies Fartun Weli as the executive director of Isuroon and a key event organizer.

“The community has come to the realization that by working together, we can effectively tackle a wide range of challenges such as education, housing, the opioid crisis, security, and issues concerning Uber and Lyft drivers,” said Weli.
Governor Walz spoke after the call to prayer, saying: “The influence of this community is across Minnesota.” He followed by praising Somali Minnesotans’ “contributions” across the state - pointing to business, the arts, education, and the broader economy.
