A Billion Dollar Somali Autism Fraud In Minnesota
29th August 2025
The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning.
Somali autism fraud, partly linked to the ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam, may be even bigger and after the FBI raids of autism clinics last December, the scale of it is still being put together.
The pattern in both Somali meals for children and autism treatment for children is similar.
In 2019, Feeding Our Future distributed $3.4 million in taxpayer food aid funds to the non-profits it was sponsoring, In 2020, that shot up to $42 million and then up to $197 million in 2021.
EIDBI autism claims to Medicaid in Minnesota similarly shot up from $3 million in 2018 to $54 million in 2019, $77 million in 2020, $183 million in 2021, $279 million in 2022, $399 million in 2023, and nearing $400 million most of the way through 2024 for a total of over $1.4 billion.
How did autism claims rise from $3 million to $400 million a year in just 4 years?
One of the persistent excuses for massive immigration in First World countries is that, because of plummeting birth rates, such countries need lots of immigrants in order to produce the necessary laborers to keep the economy running. Persistent and pervasive welfare and other fraud schemes among immigrants from Muslim countries, notably in both the U.S. and U.K. demonstrate that, while some immigrants are coming here to work, many of them are coming here to leech off of native taxpayers. Muslims find this especially attractive, since they can justify such welfare leeching as a form of the traditional jizya, the tax non-Muslims pay for being non-Muslims in a Muslim society.
