Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota argued that members of the Somali community are also victims of the massive 'Feeding Our Future' welfare fraud scheme, which federal prosecutors have described as the largest pandemic-relief fraud in the country. She expressed frustration over how the scandal has been framed around Somali involvement, emphasized that Somalis are Minnesota taxpayers who lost potential benefits, and raised concerns about backlash against the community amid widening state and federal investigations.
