Part 8/11:
Investigations have uncovered significant fraud involving Somali residents, with allegations pointing to nearly half a billion dollars siphoned through schemes exploiting welfare and Section 8 housing. Many residents report seeing multiple new cars parked in front of homes predominantly occupied by Somali families—raising suspicions about the source of their wealth and access to social programs.
Whistleblowers and community observers suggest that some individuals may have exploited governmental loopholes, prompting calls for reform and accountability. Despite these concerns, community leaders emphasize the importance of fairness and due process, warning against broad accusations that may unfairly stigmatize Somali residents or other minority groups.
