Federal prosecutors have charged several individuals in a major fraud case in Minnesota, naming Shamso Ahmed Hassan, Fahima Mahamud, and Ahmed Othman Kadar among those accused. The allegations involve misuse of government funds. A post on X highlighting the names and amounts has drawn significant online attention, prompting widespread reactions and calls for deportation and accountability.
In the Fox News video, a large on-screen graphic displays details of the alleged schemes, listing individuals such as Shamso Ahmed Hassan, linked to $46.6 million, Fahima Mahamud to $5.4 million, and Ahmed Othman Kadar to $1.4 million. The post includes the phrase “Send them back!” and questions whether any funds were sent overseas, and references charges brought by the Trump Department of Justice.
According to reports, including from Fox News, the charges are part of a broader set of indictments against 15 people accused of defrauding Minnesota Medicaid and other programs of over $90 million, with one scheme involving autism services. Prosecutors allege fraudulent billing and kickbacks in some cases. It is not clear from the X post how much, if any, of the funds were transferred abroad, as this remains under investigation.
Online Reactions to the Minnesota Fraud Charges
Some commenters focused on deportation. One wrote, “Of course they are. We gain absolutely zero and lose millions by allowing these invaders.” Another said, “Why in the hell isn’t @POTUS getting the millions deported as he promised… What will it take, @StephenM ?”
Others emphasized punishment before any removal. One comment stated, “Don’t just send them back. Give them at least five years for each million they stole, then send them back after they fully serve their time.”
Several reactions called for broader accountability. One user noted, “Well, the people in charge need to be charged as well. I am talking about Walz and Ellison; they had a hand in this. The Democrats and their minions are stealing us blind.”
Another added, “And WHY wouldn’t it set off any red flags in the government for ALL of these immigrants to be setting up ‘businesses’ that run solely on government handouts?”
The cases are ongoing in federal court as part of the Trump DOJ’s broader crackdown on alleged Medicaid fraud in Minnesota. The X post has added to the continuing national conversation around these charges and appropriate responses.
