States with Largest Somali Population Funneled Nearly $1 Billion in Cash Through Airports
Federal officials have identified hundreds of millions of dollars in bulk cash transported from U.S. airports to Somalia over the past several years, with Minnesota and Ohio accounting for the largest volumes, according to information disclosed this week by Kayleigh McEnany and testimony from the Transportation Security Administration.
McEnany reported that Department of Homeland Security officials confirmed unusually large sums of cash being carried out of the country by couriers, triggering federal scrutiny and an ongoing investigation involving multiple agencies.
“Our team has been talking to DHS officials all week, and we have learned that $700 million in cash was flown out of Minneapolis by Somali couriers in the past two years. That’s roughly $350 million a year for 2024 and 2025 now, to put that into perspective, that number is 10 to one compared to bigger airports like JFK and DFW, and we are told that they were about three to 4 million a year. Quite a difference,” McEnany said.
