At least nine of the 48 people accused of defrauding the government of $250 million meant to feed hungry children have donated to Democratic officeholders in Minnesota.
The number is likely higher and Alpha News is working to confirm the identities of additional defendants.
Campaign finance records show 42-year-old Liban Yasin Alishire donated $2,500 in May of this year to the reelection campaign of Attorney General Keith Ellison.
Alishire listed Hoodo Properties as his employer, which was a shell company he created to purchase luxury items and real estate with money he stole from the government, according to an indictment.
“[A]s the list of those indicted in the federal fraud investigation into Feeding Our Future became public, we became aware of a donation to our campaign from one of the individuals charged. We immediately refunded the donation in full,” Ellison’s campaign said in a statement provided to Alpha News.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced charges against 48 Minnesotans Tuesday for allegedly defrauding the federal government’s Child Nutrition Programs of $250 million in a little over 20 months.
“These [48] defendants engaged in a brazen scheme of staggering proportions,” U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said during a press conference announcing the charges.
At the center of the charges is Aimee Bock, the founder and executive director of Feeding Our Future, a nonprofit whose offices were raided in January.

It has been reported that some of them even worked in Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s office!
Yep.
DFL?
I would wager a guess that the number is likely 48 out of 48.
Only the stupid Leftists actually left a trail the public could follow.
Democratic-Farmer-Labor.
It’s a Minnesota thing.
All the names seem to have something in common. I can’t quite put my finger on it, though . . .
Try harder.

Ah, the chaps from Mogadishu.
I have always been suspicious of child nutrition programs such as these. When my son was in Chicago Public Schools, the principal encouraged all parents to sign up for free school meals, whatever their income. My son always always complained about what was served. Pizza was a hot dog bun with sauce and cheese on it. I always figured the scam was this: spend some of the money on cheap, substandard meals, and the rest of the money goes “elsewhere.”
Minneapolis is Mogadishu North.
You noticed?
Thanks

I’m sure the FBI, CIA and GOP-e will get right on this....

A nice euphemism!
Thank you
Nothing runs in cities and states run by rats that does not include those fees!
A no-brainer. Most are Akmeds doing what they have always done—fraud and other anti-American criminal stuff!
ANOTHER Scandanavian name, I see.
Nothing gets past you, I see.
