Description
Trump Administration Proposes Revoking Citizenship for Somali Americans Convicted in Massive Welfare Fraud ScandalThe Trump administration is considering revoking citizenship for Somali Americans convicted in a massive welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota. The scandal involves around ninety people charged with defrauding state and federal programs for nutrition, healthcare, and housing aid, with most defendants coming from Minnesotas Somali community, the largest in the United States. The scheme centered on a nonprofit called Feeding Our Future, which billed the government for hundreds of millions of meals that were never served, leading to fifty-seven guilty pleas and convictions so far. Taxpayers could be out anywhere from $250 million to $1 billion. The move signals a tough new stance on fraud tied to immigration, with more details expected soon from federal agencies.
