Massive immigration fraud found was found in Ilhan Omar’s Minneapolis – with 50% of migrants committing fraud to get into the United States.
Plus, the Biden administration knew about the fraud but didn’t take any action, according to USCIS Director Joseph Edlow
Edlow detailed the extent of the fraud, pointing to organizations that sponsored hundreds of illegal migrants – a violation of federal law that he says jeopardizes national security and exploited the system.
Operation Twin Shield, conducted from September 19 to 28, targeted more than1,000 suspicious immigration cases across more than 900 sites in the Twin Cities region.
Agents found widespread evidence of fraud, non-compliance, and public safety threats.
Edlow said the “blanket sponsorship” by certain groups is at the center of the fraud. He pointed to Biden’s expansive use of humanitarian parole programs which funneled hundreds of thousands of migrants into the U.S. with minimal vetting.
The fraud schemes included cases like:
One involving a migrant entering a fraudulent marriage with an elderly U.S. citizen, leading to financial abuse and isolation of the senior
An applicant from Kenya paid $100 to forge a death certificate claiming his wife had died abroad, even though she was alive and raising their five children in Minneapolis.
Several cases involved migrants who overstayed visas, including the son of a suspected terrorist previously denied benefits for fraud.
Others claimed employment at nonexistent businesses to get work visas like H-1B or student F-1 approvals.
The groups were often nonprofit, NGO’s or community-based organizations in Minneapolis that has one of the largest populations of Somali’s in the nation, and is in Ilhan Omar’s district
Multiple organizations sponsored over 100 migrants each without verifying identities, relationships, or eligibility – essentially rubber-stamping applications to overwhelm the system.
