The walls are closing in on the architects of what may be the most explosive financial scandal in modern American history—and the trail of stolen taxpayer dollars leads straight to Islamic terrorists operating overseas.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has officially launched enhanced federal investigations into four money service businesses operating in Minneapolis and St. Paul, marking the opening salvo in what the Trump administration is calling a "complete dismantling operation" targeting systemic welfare fraud that funneled American tax dollars to fund terror.
This isn't a warning shot, patriots. This is DOGE on a macro scale, and every complicit blue state is now in the crosshairs.
The Minnesota Connection: Your Tax Dollars Bought AK-47s
Senator Ted Cruz has confirmed what many suspected but few dared to say publicly: Minnesota taxpayers became the single largest funding source for Al-Shabaab, the radical Islamic terror group wreaking havoc in Somalia.
Let that sink in. Hundreds of millions of dollars—money earmarked to help children in need—instead purchased weapons and funded terrorism overseas. All of it flowing through fraudulent networks operating right under Governor Tim Walz's nose.
Cruz is now chairing a Senate Judiciary hearing on January 28th, and he's promising names will be named. Bank records will be subpoenaed. The American people will finally see exactly where their hard-earned money went while Democrats looked the other way.
The Investigation Goes Nationwide
But Minnesota is just the beginning. Treasury has confirmed the same investigative framework is now being deployed to California, Illinois, and New York. Ghost daycares. Fake nonprofits. Welfare fraud mills. It's all on the table.
A private investigator in California has already exposed ghost daycares scattered throughout the state—facilities where inspectors found zero children present despite dozens being officially enrolled. The fraud is brazen, systematic, and massive in scale.
And how did Governor Gavin Newsom respond when this news broke? He immediately issued a directive to lock down public access to state records. Ask yourself: what is he hiding? Why the sudden secrecy?
They know we're watching. And they're terrified.
The Hawala Network: A Terror Finance Highway
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. Forty percent of Somali households receive money transfers from America.
Much of this flows through the Hawala network, an informal hand-to-hand cash system that completely bypasses traditional banking oversight. Al-Shabaab takes a cut of everything moving through this network. The CIA knows exactly how it works. And until President Trump took action, nobody in Washington seemed interested in stopping it.
States Fighting Back
Florida is leading the charge on the state level. New legislation filed by Representative Jacquez and Senator Martin would ban illegal aliens from sending remittances out of the country entirely. No bank accounts. No loans. No down payment assistance. No licenses. If you're in Florida illegally, the financial oxygen is being cut off completely.
Meanwhile, Secretary Bessent announced that anyone on public assistance will now be required to check a box before wiring money overseas. If you're receiving welfare and sending cash abroad, congratulations—you're committing a federal crime, and you will be caught.
The Reckoning Is Coming
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. They all let this fester while American children went hungry and terrorists grew stronger.
The forensic audits are coming. The subpoenas are coming. President Trump and his administration are outraged—and they're coming for everyone involved in this betrayal of the American people.
The question every patriot should be asking: How many other fraud pipelines are operating in plain sight, protected by Democrat politicians who'd rather fund their political machines than protect American taxpayers?
The Trump administration just served notice: those days are over.
