(TJV NEWS)Feeding Our Future received a whopping $197.9 million in 2021 to provide food to starving Minnesota children impacted by COVID-19 restrictions.
Radical anti-Semite, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is deeply connected to one of the businesses involved in the alleged fraud.
The FBI recently raided the charity’s headquarters and found that none of this money was actually spent feeding kids, according to Saha Journal.
The Pioneer Press found that the businesses involved in this scam were all led by “members of the East African diaspora.”
Alphanews.org(LINK) reports: One of these establishments is Safari Restaurant, a Somali eatery located in Minneapolis’s Powderhorn Park neighborhood. Safari has been a focal point of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s engagement with her constituents for years. She’s appeared there numerous times and even hosted her 2018 victory party at the restaurant, the owners of which are now accused of stealing millions.
Specifically, Safari was reimbursed for $15 million(LINK)it allegedly spent serving meals to hungry children between May and November 2020. The restaurant claims it fed 5,000 children a day, Sahan journal is one of the few outlets to report on this fraud case.
The FBI doubts this narrative and highlights in a search warrant that Safari-affiliated shell companies purchased items like an $87,000 pickup truck, a million-dollar home in Plymouth and a $2.8 million mansion in Minneapolis after the alleged fraud took place, Sahan Journal reported.
The restaurant has also donated thousands to Omar’s campaign since the fraud reportedly transpired, Open SEcrets reported.
Aimee Bock, the leader of the nonprofit “Feeding Our Children” , claims said she’s being targeted for suing the state and working with mostly minority businesses, according to Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Minneapolis Star Tribune reported:
More than 200 law enforcement officers raided Bock’s house, office, and numerous other sites. In some 200 pages of U.S. District Court documents unsealed that day, investigators detailed an elaborate scheme involving about two dozen people who they claim spent at least $48 million in federal nutrition aid on personal expenses including lavish trips, a Kenya apartment, a $1 million house in Plymouth and a Porsche.
“Almost none of this money was used to feed children,” FBI Special Agent Travis Wilmer wrote in a sworn affidavit to justify the searches.
Neither Bock nor anyone else named in FBI search warrants has been criminally charged, and no arrests have been made. Witnesses are expected to testify at a federal grand jury in early February, a person familiar with the case said. Altogether, Feeding Our Future received $244 million in federal funds through the program from 2018 to 2021, according to the FBI, which has not alleged that all of those funds were misappropriated.
