Autism Fraud in Minnesota Sends Money to Al-Shabaab

A shocking new report by Ryan Thorpe and Christopher Rufo reveals that Minnesota taxpayers are unknowingly funding terrorism in Somalia through massive welfare and Medicaid fraud schemes.

Billions of dollars intended for health and human services programs in Minnesota have allegedly been siphoned off by fraudulent operations within the state’s Somali community—money that ultimately ends up in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab.

Key revelations:

Autism Medicaid fraud skyrockets: From $3 million in 2018 to $399 million in 2023, with thousands of fraudulent claims for autism treatments.

Criminal indictments: Several Somali residents in Minnesota have been charged with HSS and Medicaid fraud, including Asha Farhan Hassan, who allegedly orchestrated a $14 million scam.

Funds sent overseas: Millions stolen from taxpayers are reportedly sent back to Somalia, funding terrorism and luxurious purchases abroad.

Systemic failure: These schemes exploit Minnesota’s welfare programs under Governor Tim Walz, while local authorities and the media largely remain silent.

Federal authorities call this network of fraud “unique” in scope and complexity, with fictitious companies and sham operations targeting vulnerable populations.

Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill—and unknowingly financing terror networks abroad. This is a story every American should know.
