Trump Ends Deportation Protections for Minnesota Somalis

Investigative journalists Ryan Thorpe and Christopher F. Rufo's report in the City Journal revealed that billions in taxpayer funds were stolen through Medicaid programs, childcare-meal reimbursements, and autism-services schemes by Minnesota's Somali community. These funds then ultimately ended up in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab.

"This is a third-rail conversation, but the largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer," a source told the journalists, adding, "There is an issue here that is real, and if there is ever an event that is traceable back to these funds, or to people from this area, then this situation will take on a whole new set of optics."

Rufo's report has unleashed a massive burst of nationwide media attention on the corruption over the last several days. This suggests that much greater reforms are coming, likely in the name of national security (cc Rubio). It's also possible that the Manhattan Institute already has an executive-order framework queued up for the White House.
