#news The Wife of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has a direct tie to the $9 billion Somali migrant fraud through the Feeding Our Future scheme
Sarah Clarke worked at Hylden Advocacy & Law as a lobbyist and Director of Government Affairs (from around 2016 to 2022).
The firm provided legal representation and lobbying services to Feeding Our Future, the NGO that orchestrated the massive $250 million federal child nutrition fraud scandal – the largest fraud case in U.S. history and part of the $9 Billion welfare fraud schemes.
The firm was also listed as a paid lobbyist for the Somali Museum of Minnesota, founded by Osman Ali.
The museum received $4.5 million in state funding months after Ali pleaded guilty in a separate fraud case.
Clarke left the firm in January 2022, at the same exact time that federal investigations were heating up—including FBI raids on Feeding Our Future founder Aimee Bock’s home and office.
She left suddenly and with out any public explanation raising serious questions.
Campaign finance records show that at least eight people named in the Feeding Our Future indictments each donated the maximum allowable amount to Mayor Frey’s 2021 mayoral reelection campaign.
In addition, three of Mayor Frey’s appointees were federally indicted in connection with the fraud scheme*****
Abdi Nur Salah (also referred to as Abdi Salah), a former senior policy aide to then-Council Member Abdi Warsame, who advanced to become Frey’s senior policy aide in 2018.
Sharmarke Issa, appointed by Frey to chair the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority in 2019 and reappointed in 2021.
Abdikadir Ainanshe Mohamud (also known as “AK”), appointed by Frey to the newly created Minneapolis Community Safety Workgroup.
