They have big problems in Minnesota, the money is going to Muslim terrorists in Somalia. Al-Shabaab
Minnesota Dems allegedly let tax dollars fund terrorists as police left without money to protect public: cops
Police union leader warns Minnesota could lose another 2,500 officers over next few years
As violent crime endangers communities across Minnesota, police say they were left stretched thin and underfunded while state leaders directed millions elsewhere, a gap now drawing sharp scrutiny from public-safety experts and police union leaders.
That gap is under the microscope as the state deals with a massive fraud scandal involving hundreds of millions of dollars, including allegations of taxpayer money finding its way to terrorist group Al-Shabaab in Somalia, all under the nose of Democratic leaders.
Randy Sutton, a police veteran and founder of The Wounded Blue, told Fox News Digital the crisis extends far beyond one agency or city.
"The public safety is at risk… we are in a criminal justice crisis in America," Sutton said. "Political leadership is destroying public safety through their ideology."
Mark Ross, president of the St. Paul Police Federation, says Minnesota is living that crisis in real time.
"We’ve been down anywhere from 50 to over 100 officers since 2020, and we just haven’t recovered from that," Ross told Fox News Digital. "Right now we’re about a thousand police officers short in the state of Minnesota, and we’re on pace to lose another 2,000 to 2,500 over the next few years."
The staffing shortages come as Minnesota recorded 170 murders in 2024,), only slightly below the year before, with firearms involved in nearly 75% of those killings. Statewide, carjackings rose 5.5% and rapes increased 5.2% from 2023 to 2024. Assaults on peace officers also jumped up 1.5%.
Ross said recruitment and retention have reached a breaking point, not only in St. Paul but statewide.
"The overall landscape for policing in Minnesota has gotten really, really competitive. We’re losing officers to other departments paying more and offering greater incentives."
He said the state’s massive fraud losses, now the subject of multiple federal investigations, have worsened long-term pressures on public-safety agencies.
"These billions of dollars could have been spent on public safety, but it’s gone… and we’ll never see that money again."

Somali student in Minnesota threatens to ‘pop’ ICE agents in expletive-ridden, viral rant
A Somali Minnesota college student has come under fire for threatening to “pop” ICE agents in an expletive-laden viral social media rant.
Hasan Mohamed was blasted after he posted the menacing anti-ICE tirade on social media, where he vowed to shoot immigration agents the next time they show up in his Owatonna neighborhood.
“ICE, I actually heard you guys pulled up to Owatonna, the big O, and you pulled up when I was not there? Y’all so p–s-ass s–t, boy. You’re gonna get popped next time I see you,” he raged in the clip.
“Bring the whole cavalry. Yeah, boy, you guys are scared.”
Mohamed, who, according to his social media, is a student at Minnesota State University, appears to have deleted the original video from his TikTok — but not before it started spreading like wildfire.
After his clip sparked widespread backlash, Mohamed posted a handful of follow-up videos Tuesday apologizing for the “lapse in my judgment.”
“I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m just here to apologize,” he said. “I truly did not mean what I said. I was just trying to be funny.”
Some, however, weren’t buying his apologetic tone — arguing that the script bore an eerie similarity to a groveling apology that YouTube star Logan Paul gave back in 2018 after he was ripped for posting a dead body online.
Meanwhile, the fury over Mohamed’s video came as ICE vowed to continue its immigration crackdown in the North Star State.
“Minnesota’s weather is cloudy with a 100% chance of ICE,” the agency said on X alongside a video of recent arrests.

It's equally as bad in Canada for new immigrants, need to find the video. This Canadian Greek guy has a channel on some social media where he digs stuff up on what's going on in Canada and this one video made my drop lower than it already was and that was already at floor level.

Fact-checking a chart of SNAP recipients by ethnicity
A viral chart on X titled “Food Stamps by Ethnicity” showed that most people receiving SNAP benefits are non-white and noncitizens. But U.S. Agriculture Department data shows that the largest group of SNAP recipients by race is white.
www.politifact.com
- The most recently published U.S. Agriculture Department data shows that as of 2023, the largest group of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients by race was white (35.4%), followed by African American (25.7%), Hispanic (15.6%), Asian (3.9%), Native American (1.3%).
- The agency also reported that 89.4% of SNAP recipients were U.S born citizens, meaning less than 11% of SNAP participants were foreign-born.
