Klobuchar’s Somalia-first Career Ignores 99 percent of Minnesota’s Population

Much of the wannabe-governor’s time has been spent on issues Minnesotans don’t care about.

If Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar becomes Governor of Minnesota, no one should be surprised when she continues to focus her work on the fraud-riddled Somali community that makes up just one percent of her constituency.

In the 19 years since she was sworn into the U.S. Senate, Klobuchar has been decidedly Somalia-first, not America-first or even Minnesota-first. Here we will take a look at ways she consistently focused on boosting Somalis living in Minnesota, and in their home country. But first, let’s examine her proximity to massive fraud in the Somali community.

Somali Fraud at Her Fingertips 

Minnesota’s 5.8 million people include 79,449 Somalis—1.3 percent of the population.

It defies common sense that Klobuchar didn’t know of the massive Feeding our Future fraud in her state that bilked millions of dollars from federal taxpayers. Feeding our Future operators Aimee Bock, 44, and Salim Said, 36, got nearly $250 million in federal funds for the 91 million meals they claimed to serve to children. But instead of feeding children, they spent the money on themselves, buying real estate, luxury cars and personal items, according to an original indictment.

At one point, Feeding our Future claimed to feed 5,000 children per day, seven days a week from Said’s dumpy little Somali Safari Restaurant in Minneapolis. The restaurant shows up as closed as of May 2026, but old Yelp reviews don’t mention customers noticing thousands of kids being served there at any time. If the restaurant had been open 24 hours a day, it would have had to serve 208 meals an hour to meet those implausible numbers. This place never had the capacity for that kind of service, yet it claimed to have served over 3.9 million meals to children from the Safari Restaurant between April 2020 and November 2021.

Bock was recently sentenced to 500 months (41.6 years) in prison for her role in the fraud.

Either Klobuchar was in on the scam, or she is derelict in her oath to guard against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Feeding our Future administered a federally funded Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Klobuchar serves on the Agriculture Committee and the Subcommittee on Food and Nutrition, Specialty Crops, Organics, and Research which directly oversees the CACFP. She brags on her website that she got more funding for the program and improved the nutrition offered.

Klobuchar voted to increase the scam’s take, supporting the Keep Kids Fed Act in 2022, which paid CACFP groups like Feeding our Future an extra 10 cents per meal and simplifying reimbursement rates.

Klobuchar signed the ‘‘Support Kids Not Red Tape Act” of 2022 to extend CACFP flexibilities offered to program administrators during Covid.

The Soros family collects politicians like trophies. Look no further than Senator Amy Klobuchar from the corrupt state of Minnesota. She is currently running to replace Governor Walz.

She boasted in a 2024 video to CACFP administrators that, “In 2022 alone, [the program] served almost 2 billion meals.”

In 2024 and 2025 she sponsored resolutions designating the third week of March 2025 as "National CACFP Week" to raise awareness about the program. As if the massive fraud in Minnesota didn’t raise enough awareness. 

Completely ignoring that the program managed to operate with massive, fraudulent overspending, Klobuchar signed a May 21 letter bemoaning a reorganization of the federal Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) which funds 16 food assistance programs including CACFP. Her letter demands the USDA account for how many employees who administer these programs may lose their jobs in the reorganization and warns funding cuts already weakened the programs. Where was Klobuchar’s concern when the fraud happened—in a program she oversees?

Somalia-First

Like Rep. Ilhan Omar, Amy Klobuchar has been a champion to the Somalian community.

When Klobuchar ran for Senate in 2006, she campaigned with the Somali Action Alliance at a candidate forum. Using the Somali language, Klobuchar made several promises, including making it easier for the Somali community to wire money to family members back home in Somalia.

“In Minnesota, we have the biggest Somali population in the country. We are proud of that community.”

Klobuchar met with Somali community leaders in August 2008, where they discussed “Somali remittances and the challenges they face in banking laws . . . the community leaders asked the Senator to seek legal assistance for Somalis in the country under TPS (Temporary Protected Status), who lose their work papers every year and need formal legal status,” reads Somalitalk.com text translated to English. “The leaders asked the Senator to address the recent suspension of Somali refugees entering the country…Somali Community Leaders have expressed concern about autism, which accounts for more than 25 percent of children with the disease are Somali children, and this issue requires the Senator to speak with health agencies and schools to investigate the cause of the disease. Senator Amy Klobuchar promised that her office would be involved in the work.”

In 2009 Somalia ‘s President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed visited the United States, addressed the UN General Assembly, and met with a few senators, including Klobuchar.

Klobuchar signed a 2023 letter to USAID urging it to focus its resources on flooding in Somalia during the traditional rainy season.

“Minnesota is home to one of the world’s largest populations of Somali immigrants and refugees, and many in the community have family in Somalia who have been affected by the flooding,” she wrote. “Our Somali community is working hard to send aid back to Somalia and bring national and international attention to the country’s plight, but federal assistance is needed. We urge the Department to keep aid to Somalia at the forefront of your operations as you work to provide disaster relief around the world.”

In 2009, Klobuchar touted the “cultural and intellectual wealth Somalis bring to Minnesota,” when she addressed 10,000 people via video message, and she sent a representative from her office to the Abubakar As-Saddique Islamic Center 9th Annual Convention in Minneapolis.

Often Klobuchar collaborates with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Rep. Ilhan Omar. For example, in January Klobuchar joined Omar in requesting $1 million for the Somali-led nonprofit Generation Hope. The request was a sneaky earmark attached to a budget bill. It caused some controversy and was ultimately removed from the package. Generation Hope describes itself as “The first culturally specific nonprofit organization in the East African Community dedicated to addressing addiction and mental health.” The website makes it clear the tax money would have only been used to serve one segment of the population. Imagine asking the government to fund a Scandinavian-led Anglo-culture specific operation—that probably would not fly. But somehow, it is OK to fund social services intended to benefit only one culture? No. That is racist.

Securing a Swelling Somali Population 

Klobuchar has persistently protected Somali immigration status by assuring they can easily come to the United States and remain here.

In 2010, Klobuchar issued a press release promoting the extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalis living in the United States for an additional 18 months.

TPS allows nationals of designated countries facing armed conflict, natural disasters, or extraordinary conditions to live and work in the United States for as long as the country remains TPS designated—in this case, since 1991.

The Obama administration extended Somali TPS for another 18 months in 2012, just in time for Klobuchar to use it in her reelection campaign.

“Minnesota is home to the largest population of Somali immigrants in America – they are our friends, our co-workers, and our neighbors,” Klobuchar said in a 2012 statement. “Returning to Somalia at this time could put many Somalis and their families in serious danger, and this extension of TPS will ensure that they can stay out of harm’s way.”

In 2017 Klobuchar voiced concern over cutting the amount of foreign aid sent to Somalia.

In a July 16, 2018, letter, Klobuchar asked Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to again extend TPS.

“Conditions in Somalia remain dire. and armed conflict continues to be a threat to the Somali people,” Klobuchar wrote. TPS was extended to 2020.

Klobuchar cosponsored the Safe Environment from Countries Under Repression and in Emergency (SECURE) Act which would allow TPS and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) recipients to apply for legal permanent residency. First introduced in 2016 and reintroduced in 2025, it has not moved. Immigrants on TPS cannot legally vote, but they could vote if they become legal permanent residents.

Nearly 30 years after Somalia received the TPS designation, Klobuchar announced in 2020 that, “conditions in Somalia remain uncertain and unsafe as armed conflict and drought continue to compromise security within the country.” She celebrated another extension of the designation.

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem found Somalia no longer meets the conditions for its TPS designation and terminated it as of Jan. 14, 2026, but  a judge in Massachusetts issued a stay in the order.

Reliable Vote

Klobuchar was sworn into the U.S. Senate in 2007 and has served three full six-year terms. Now, in her fourth term—which expires in 2031—she waited until she was safely employed as a “public servant,” before announcing a campaign for governor.

Her years in politics have established a predictable pattern. When Somalis need a dependable member of Congress to vote their way, Klobuchar always takes up their cause. Too bad it is so tough for the rest of Minnesota’s residents to get her attention.

She will need more than one percent of Minnesota’s voters to become governor. It is a mystery why anyone other than Somalis would want her to represent them. She has largely forgotten the rest of Minnesota’s voters. Embracing the Somali population has not made Minnesota a better place for the rest of its residents. Minneapolis and growing pockets of other towns are unrecognizable as this third-world community has failed to assimilate, changing Minnesota’s culture.
