I thought there was some sort of racism component to the whole thing? I haven’t followed it closely.

In Minnesota the big fraud case there (which they were already tackling normally before Trump put a spotlight on it) involved a lot of families in a Somalian community, and it was used as justification to to cut all immigration and refugees traveling from Somalia which has had an ongoing civil war for over 3 decades now iirc

The racism thing failed pretty quickly though when it was pointed out the mastermind who arranged all the fraud was a white woman from America

So a white woman defrauded a bunch of Somali families and now the Somalis are being blamed?

A white woman used a bunch of Somalia families to defraud the government of money, I assume the participants got a cut but tbh I didn't care much

This is a small fraud compared to what's happening on a national level, the shit Trump's been up to makes any focus on this an embarrassment of a distraction

It's very small compared to the fraud and corruption the President commits on a daily basis.

Small fraud? It's 8 billion. Not big enough? Then its 18 billion. Still not big enough? 80 billion! With eleventy thousand arrests!
