Pam Bondi: 85 Somalis Charged, 60 People Guilty in Minnesota Fraud

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Monday that 85 Somalian nationals have been charged regarding ongoing fraud taking place in Minnesota, with “more prosecutions coming.”

In a post on X, Bondi praised citizen journalist Nick Shirley’s reporting, which showed Americans “the scale of fraud” taking place in Minnesota under Gov. Tim Walz (D).

“@NickShirleyyy’s work has helped show Americans the scale of fraud in Tim Walz’s Minnesota,” Bondi said. “@TheJusticeDept has been investigating this for months. So far, we have charged 98 individuals — 85 of Somali descent — and more than 60 have been found guilty in court.”

“We have more prosecutions coming…BUCKLE UP, LAWMAKERS!” Bondi added.
