Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar has hit back at claims linking Minnesota’s pandemic fraud scandal to terrorism, calling the allegations a “failure of the FBI” if proven true. She urged full prosecution for anyone funnelling taxpayer money to extremist groups but warned against targeting Somali-Americans without evidence. The controversy follows federal prosecutions in the nation’s largest COVID-era fraud scheme and a new Treasury review into possible fund diversion. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has intensified rhetoric against Somali communities, accusing them of harming Minnesota—comments Omar called dehumanising and dangerous. The dispute has reignited political and community tensions across the state. Watch
