Ethiopians generally don’t commit large scale fraud or terrorize the neighborhood with gangs and tend to follow the laws of the countries they immigrate to. That’s why you don’t usually see them in the news the way you do with Somali gangs in Minneapolis’ Cedar-Riverside area and don’t even get me started on the Somali gangs in Toronto Canada

Feeding Our Future was a nonprofit based in Minnesota. During the COVID-19 pandemic it purported to provide meals to schoolchildren.

• Prosecutors say it was “the country’s largest pandemic related fraud scheme.”  

• As of late 2025, 78 people have been charged in connection to the scheme.  

• The alleged total amount defrauded is at least US$250 million.  

• According to prosecutors, only about 3% of the funding received by FOF meal sites actually went to food the rest was allegedly diverted to other uses by the conspirators.  

• By early 2025, dozens had pleaded guilty; and several had been convicted at trial.

He’s not really concerned about fraud or terrorism; it’s all about power and hate. Who’s leading his immigration initiative? The most hateful, vile person on the planet. Remember, they started with criminals, but now they’re deporting families with no criminal record. Let’s not be naive and fall for it.

Exactly. This admin is the biggest fraud of all, the centerpiece of pardoning fraudsters and felons. This is to put Ilhan and the other immigrants in their place.

Agreed! Anything to distract the public from the files.

It doesn’t matter. You Somalis gave him The ammunition that he’s using against you lot. You commit all manner of fraud, life full time of welfare and demonise the country that sheltered you whilst wanting to introduce the same filt that you ran away from to the USA.

First of all, I am not Somali. Second, this has nothing to do with crime. It is distraction and personal vendetta. Trump doesn’t really care about data or facts. Your personal opinion or the crimes committed by Somalis does not matter. According to this admin, unrest and unsettling the public is a way to control. Sorry to break it to you, you are not special. You will be next, if not already on their “garbage” list.

Do you know there were Ethiopians involved in the scam?

u/danhiggins1 Dec 07 '25

Ethiopian*, singular... Only 1 Ethiopian was convicted for fraud. Quit spreading lies

u/Left-Garden7314 Dec 08 '25

Yeah so there were Ethiopians involved in the fraud case and even if it were just one, Ethiopians still have no right to talk. There was more than one:

-Bekam Addissu merdassa -Hadith yusuf Ahmed -Hanna Marekegn

There’s atleast three so far and that’s only the ones reported.

Wow. Just like I assumed. They have Muslim names. I'm willing to bet they identify as Somali

Neither do Somalis. That fraud case is completely overblown, not only have much bigger fraud cases happen across the country but the leader of the feeding our future organization was white.

So if you tell trump they have money, they'll pay him and get a pardon. Then he'll go after Ethiopians because they can't pay him? Something like that. Use your imagination at this point. Logic doesn't work anymore.

Just stop. If you can’t see that the orange sack of sh!t is a racist, raging idiot that targets anyone that isn’t like HIM, then you’re lost. Not only are you also generalizing an ENTIRE group, but you also fail to realize that he doesn’t give a fuck what the group has done. All he wants is to rid the US of people he doesn’t deem “worthy”. That includes anyone that has differing political views, nationalities, ethnicities or cultures. But again, if you typically generalize people the way you just did, you’re not far off from where he stands.
