This is just shocking!

Nearly half of all immigrants in Minneapolis-St. Paul were found to have committed immigration fraud.

A 2025  report by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services focused on more than 1,000 cases that had fraud or ineligibility indicators, conducted over 900 site visits and in-person interviews, and found evidence of fraud, non-compliance, or public safety or national security concerns in 275 cases—44 percent of cases interviewed.

This report came out BEFORE YouTuber and investigator Nick Shirley reported on the massive fraud taking place in the Somali-run child care centers in Minnesota.

In December 2025, Shirley published video exposing massive fraud in the state.

the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of Investigation increased their presence in the state and federal funding for the childcare centers was frozen.

Minnesota’s America-hating Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is famous for committing immigration fraud by marrying her brother.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that in 2009, Ilhan Omar married her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, after she had split from her first ‘husband’, Ahmed Hirsi (she was married to Hirsi in a Muslim ceremony, but not registered with the state).

Ilhan Omar eventually had children with Ahmed Hirsi (non-brother-husband) while she was still legally married to her own brother Ahmed Elmi.

Ilhan Omar with her second husband and brother during better times. She allegedly married her brother to gain him access to the US. This is also called immigration fraud.

Power Line also reported on this scandal years ago:

A reader has written us to point out that the Somali website Somalispot posted information last week suggesting Omar’s involvement in marriage and immigration fraud. The post notes that Omar married Ahmed Hirsi in 2002. Hirsi is the father of Omar’s three children. Omar is depicted with Hirsi and their children on Omar’s campaign website here.

The post further notes that Omar married her brother Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009, implying that the latter marriage assisted his entry into the United States. Her brother was a British citizen. “As soon as Ilhan Omar married him,” the post continues, “He started university at her [a]lma mater North Dakota State University where he graduated in 2012. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Minneapolis where he was living in a public housing complex and was later evicted. He then returned to the United Kingdom where he now lives.”

Ilhan Omar was elected to be a state representative for District 60B on November 8, 2016, and took her oath on the Quran.

In 2017, several months after Omar’s marriage history briefly created a national news item, Omar quietly petitioned the family court for a default divorce, claiming she could not locate Elmi.

Now we know that Ilhan is not alone. Nearly half of all immigrants in the Twin Cities region committed immigration fraud.

According to USCIS, via Wall Street Apes, “Over the course of the operation, our officers found indication of fraud, non-compliance, or public safety and national security concerns in nearly, a little less than 50% of the cases interviewed.”

“Focusing on a list of over a thousand target cases involving more than 900 individuals, our officers encountered blatant marriage fraud, visa overstays, people claiming to work at businesses that can’t be found, forged documents, abuse of the H-1B visa system, abuse of the F-1 visas, and many other discrepancies.”

The Twin Cities have one of the largest Somali populations in the US concentrated in Minneapolis. Somalis are predominantly Muslim.

These are the most common violations found

– Blatant marriage fraud
– Visa overstays
– Forged documents
– Claiming employment at nonexistent businesses
– Abuse of H-1B visas
– Abuse of F-1 visas
– Fake death certificates
