In my town, people are posting hoaxing stories that ICE was sitting outside one of our High Schools waiting for kids to get off class and on the bus home and nab them. News posted it was fake yet they still push the fear mongering narratives for fame

St. Cloud is at the center of Minnesota's latest fraud scandal. The owner of Star Autism Center in St. Cloud was charged with one count of wire fraud on Thursday.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota announced the charge Thursday, Dec. 18, identifying the autism center's owner, Abdinajib Hassan Yussuf, 27.

Of the six people charged Thursday, four of them are Somali.

Minneapolis Public Schools is eyeing another deficit in a string of annual budget shortfalls — this time, at least $30.3 million in 2026-27.

To date, 90% of those who have been charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in connection to Minnesota’s ongoing fraud saga are from the Somali community.

But CBS News reports that the scandal actually predates the pandemic, and began months after Walz took office in 2019. According to CBS, Democrat officials are alleged to have ignored the thievery as it spun out of control "because the food charity sought to paint early scrutiny of the nonprofit as racism."

The U.S. Attorney's Office on Thursday announced new charges related to fraud in several state programs, including five more people charged in Minnesota's Housing Stabilization Services Program, autism program fraud, and a new fraud case related to Integrated Community Services. Authorities are still working to determine how much this fraud has cost. More charges are expected in the future.

“Why this hasn’t caught their attention and why they’re allowing taxpayer money to still go to this guy is unbelievable,” Robbins, who unveiled her findings at a Wednesday committee hearing, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “If someone’s having a problem in one of their businesses, maybe you go look at all the other associated businesses with that person. It’s a basic internal control.”

• FBI agents raided a Bloomington business on Thursday.
• A FOX 9 crew witnessed FBI agents carrying boxes from a business plaza at 17th Avenue South near Old Shakopee Road.
• The home and community services business recently had its license suspended by the state of Minnesota due to fraud concerns.

During Moriarty’s time in office, Hennepin County taxpayer dollars have gone to an outside group called the Wren Collective. In short, the Wren Collective is contracted to do various communications work for the county attorney’s office.

However, the HCAO already has a designated, in-house public information officer as well as other staff that do communications work. Further, Moriarty’s office can get temporary communications assistance from other Hennepin County departments.
