The walls are closing in on what may be the largest welfare fraud and terror funding operation in American history. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just dropped a bombshell that has blue state governors scrambling to cover their tracks – and the money trail leads straight to Islamic terrorists overseas.
Four money service businesses in Minneapolis and St. Paul are now under enhanced federal investigation, complete with deep audits, transaction tracing, and criminal referrals. This isn't a warning shot, Patriots. This is President Trump's administration launching a full-scale dismantling operation targeting a massive fraud network that operated right under Tim Walz's nose.
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS FLOWED TO TERROR GROUPS
Senator Ted Cruz confirmed what many suspected but few dared say out loud: Minnesota taxpayers became the single largest funding source for Al-Shabaab, the radical Islamic terror group operating in Somalia. The money was supposed to help American children in need. Instead, it bought AK-47s and funded terrorism overseas.
Cruz is chairing a Senate Judiciary hearing on January 28th to expose this scandal. Bank records will be subpoenaed. Names will be named. The American people will finally see exactly where their hard-earned tax dollars went.
The numbers are staggering. In 2023 alone, $1.7 billion in remittances flowed from the United States to Somalia – more than the entire Somali government budget. The money moves through the "Hawala network," an informal cash system that bypasses banks entirely, with Al-Shabaab taking a cut of everything.
INVESTIGATION GOING NATIONWIDE
Treasury confirmed the same investigative framework is being deployed to California, Illinois, and New York. Ghost daycares, fake nonprofits, welfare fraud mills – it's all on the table now. When California investigators found daycare facilities with zero children present despite dozens being enrolled, Governor Gavin Newsom immediately locked down public access to state records. What are they hiding?
Meanwhile, Florida is fighting back hard. New legislation would ban illegal aliens from sending remittances overseas entirely, while Treasury Secretary Bessent announced that anyone on public assistance will be required to check a box before wiring money abroad. If you're receiving welfare and sending cash to terrorists, you're committing a federal crime.
Governor Tim Walz is the canary in the coal mine. What's happening to him will happen to Newsom, Pritzker, and Hochul next. They all looked the other way while American taxpayers unknowingly funded terrorism. The forensic audits are coming, and the financial oxygen is being shut off right now.
