Tim Walz took office \u2013 and has grown substantially in recent years.\n<\/p>\n<p>Though all were legally declared according to U.S. Customs rules, the bundles of cash in luggage \u2013 some as much as $1 million in a single trip \u2013 \u00a0raised regular suspicions among TSA agents.<\/p>\n<p>The TSA said that Minneapolis travelers left the airport with $342 million in their luggage in 2024 and $349 million in 2025, although nationwide totals are expected to be much higher. Officials also confirmed that much of this cash was being carried by Somali couriers traveling to Dubai via Amsterdam.\n<\/p>\n<p>These couriers are believed to be part of a larger system, as, according to Missouri State Treasurer Vivek Malek, hundreds of billions of dollars leave the country every year through remittances to countries like China, Mexico, and more. Just the News notes that a \u201csizable portion\u201d of this involved illegal immigrants, many of whom entered America under the Biden administration.\n<\/p>\n<p>These Somali cash flows have been reportedly well known in counterterrorism circles since 2016 due to concerns of money funding overseas terror groups like Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab. And, with what we now know about the Somali fraud in Minnesota, these fears were not unfounded. As we covered in late November, money stolen from Minnesota taxpayers through fraud is being sent back to Somalia, and some of it has even \u201cwound up in the coffers of Al-Shabaab.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration didn\u2019t seem to care about the massive amounts of cash leaving America, but the Homeland Security Investigations unit has reportedly begun investigating. Let\u2019s pray for an end to all fraud in Minnesota, and let\u2019s pray that American tax dollars would never again end up in the hands of terrorists!\n<\/p>\n<h4>How are you praying about this?
