Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh is demanding Governor Tim Walz issue an eviction moratorium to protect his "neighbors" who are allegedly too scared of deportation to work – essentially asking taxpayers to subsidize housing for people who shouldn't be in the country to begin with.
The far-left Democrat's brazen request comes as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement across Minnesota, where mounting evidence of massive welfare fraud in the Somali community has finally caught federal attention.
"Our neighbors are terrified to leave their homes, go to work and many are now struggling to make ends meet," Fateh said in a statement.
Let's be crystal clear about what's happening here: Fateh wants legal residents and citizens to foot the bill for people who are apparently in the country illegally, while simultaneously admitting these individuals have been taking jobs from Americans.
The timing is no coincidence. President Trump's second-term immigration enforcement has Minnesota Democrats scrambling to protect their illegal immigrant voting base. Rather than encouraging people to follow the law, Fateh is essentially advertising that Minnesota will shelter lawbreakers from federal consequences.
Welfare Fraud Scandal Rocks Somali Community
This desperate plea comes as federal investigators uncover widespread welfare and relief fraud specifically within Minnesota's Somali community – the same demographic Fateh represents and is now rushing to protect from accountability.
What's truly outrageous is Fateh's framing of law enforcement as the problem. These aren't "neighbors" living in fear – these are individuals who chose to violate immigration law and are now facing the consequences of their actions.
Minnesota families struggling with their own rent payments must be thrilled to learn their tax dollars might go toward subsidizing housing for people who shouldn't even be here. This is exactly the kind of backwards priority that drove voters to give Trump a decisive mandate for immigration enforcement.
Where's Governor Walz on this? Will he cave to pressure from the radical left, or will he finally put Minnesota citizens first? Don't hold your breath, Patriots.
