TSA Agent Observed Somalis Carrying Millions of Dollars in Suitcases Heading Overseas

by

A TSA Agent observed Somalis carrying millions of dollars in suitcases at airport checkpoints. 

A former TSA Agent claims that Somolis transported millions in cash through airports during her time as an agent.  She saw the money herself.  She also notes that there are paper trails and videos of this trafficking.

This might account for where the estimated $9 billion stolen in Minnesota’s sprawling social-services scam, orchestrated mainly by members of its Somali community, went.  This $9 billion is nearly equivalent to the entire economy of Somalia.

The amount stolen accounts for roughly half of the $18 billion in total federal funds provided to the Minnesota-run services since 2018, as Democratic Gov. Tim Walz continues to take heat for his handling of the debacle.

By comparison to the $9 billion figure, Somalia’s entire GDP was under $12 billion in 2024, according to the World Bank.

In an interview with Liz Collin at Alpha News, a former TSA Agent says that, in hindsight, the suitcases filled with millions of dollars in cash seem like an obvious connection to the estimated billions of dollars in fraud.

While traveling with large amounts of money is not illegal, as long as it’s documented, she also explains how much money she saw, how law enforcement officers were contacted, and how little was done about it.

I saw suitcases filled with millions of dollars of cash and the couriers were always small men traveling in pairs and they got through the checkpoint.

And it just really absolutely blew my mind. The first time you open a suitcase, and you see millions of dollars of cash, and typically, what would happen is a LEO or a law enforcement officer would come check their credentials.

I don’t know what kind of questions they asked them, but their IDs were always documented, and probably their plane tickets as well. So, there is a trail of that out there. And I would believe with all the cameras at the airport that if they started there, they could probably find each and every individual that brought money through the checkpoint. Obviously, this seems suspicious, if not alarming, given what seems to be a pattern here.

(Collins) So, you’re talking about millions of dollars flying out of Minneapolis, and you think it happened about every week or so. Is that right?

So, it certainly seemed like it happened every week. The suitcases came in and the MO was always two Smallian men traveling in pairs. Um, sometimes they both had suitcases, so the process was as a TSA agent, we would pull the bag and then we’d bring them to a private screening room and we would open the suitcase and make sure that that’s all it was was – stacks of cash.

And a Leo would come and maybe question them and for sure take a picture of their identification, and I’m assuming their plane ticket. I’m not sure.

So, there is a trail out there. Um, between that, I mean, there has to be documented somewhere, and all the cameras in the airport. I would imagine that if they wanted to find all this cash, they could.

  3. This to me doesn't sound right. Fraudsters don't carry millions of cash on flights, even checked luggage. The risk is too high of theft and lost baggage. I'm reasonably certain most of that money was transferred by wire between accounts and shell LLCs. Several of the child "learning centers" were actually set up as LLCs according to the photos I've seen of their business info on the entry doors.

    • Wires out of the country over 10k would be flagged automatically. They do cash because they can obviously get it out without any trouble.
      The whole point behind FINCEN reporting was to prevent EXACTLY THIS.
      But it's apparently not enforced on favored groups by the two-tired "Just Us" system.

  10. Gotta fund the Terrorists who chant "Death to America!" and do it WITH stolen US taxpayer funds, don't 'cha know?

  13. If you don't have a way to prove the money came from legal avenues it is supposed to be assumed that you got it illegally and seized then up to YOU to sue and prove you legally acquired it. I don't even like these procedures but everyday Americans are walking away from their rightful earnings because it costs more to sue and inbred mega minds are being able to just walk through TSA no problem!

  14. Anyone who tries to fly millions in cash out of the country would be arrested at the airport for money laundering. Unless you were Obama, or the CIA, there is absolutely no need to fly this amount of money to a third world shet hole country. Even they would use the military to do it. The people involved in this obvious theft should be thrown into prison for 50 years minimum.

  17. This is one time I would like to see Sharia Law, since our own law is so ineffective. Confiscate the money, and use a machete to cut off the right hand of the carriers.

    I spent a little time in Saudi. I went to the gold souks in Khobar. Gold was everywhere, in the open. NO ONE stole ANYTHING. Guess why.

    • In Saudi Arabia, this amount of theft would buy them a head chopping in the public square. They would consider it an act of insurrection against the country. Especially if they were taking it from the royal family and giving it to terrorists.

  18. No doubt the TSA agents that allowed this were paid to keep their mouths shut.

    How much corruption in that agency and how many corrupt TSA agents????

    No different than the greedy/corrupt border patrol agents who were paid to look the other way as cartel members trafficked drugs and people across the border.

  21. I want heads to ROLL . I am so sick of this . I don't mean low level scum either . The only way they could have done all of this was political turning of heads and greasing of political palms .
    I want justice !

  24. Ah.
    Social services scams.
    Those guys are definitely scam-smart, there should actually be a Scamel Prize, to compensate for the Nobel they will never, ever, have.

    • I had an unopened 32oz gatorade for a flight I was taking. Got to screening and the TSA agent told me I couldn’t take it past the screening. I asked him what my options were and he said throw it away or drink it. So I opened it right in front of him and downed it in 10 seconds.

  27. So if you're Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort you go to jail for making a deposit of more than $10K in your Cayman island account but if you're a little Somalian you get a free pass.

  28. That is kind of interesting. I was in Minneapolis early 2020 and was amazed at how many Somalis were working at the airport. I figured it must have been part of a government program to give them some sort of job. Sounds like it may have been more of a money laundering operation sponsored by the government.

  29. We can site all the laws we want. It only applies to us idiots who continue to work and pay taxes. Don’t worry though Ukraine and Gaza will be safe!!!!

  30. So my tax money is being stolen and the government does not care.

    So why am I paying taxes… thats right I would go to jail if I didn't (Mafia government)

    But they can walk right out of this country with billions of mine and yours dollars.

  34. If you bring baby food, they'll make you open every sealed container and taste it. The TSA, protecting lives! /s

  36. The same Somalis who did Black Hawk down and Pirates who hijack ships at sea. Now they've hijacked American Taxpayers.

  40. TSA…They HAVE to have a policy for that!!!
    If it were you or I, we would be interrogated for hours and then it would be taken as "civil asset forfeiture" and it would disappear forever.

  42. Amazing. My daughter crosses the Canadian border into the U.S. and is asked about cash amounts they carry but these foreigners come and go as they please, yet we’re the “white supremacists” .

  43. More proof that Govt officials are involved. It is illegal to take that much money out of the country without proper documentation. A FINcen 105 must be filed with the IRS and Border Patrol in advance

  44. Just for starters, I don't care if every person in that godforsaken country is starving, buried under earthquake rubble, bit by a meteor, invaded by aliens, NOT ONE PENNY from the US.

  46. We need to stop the feds from writing checks for anything until it's straightened out, criminals identified and reparations filed.

  47. Yet another example of laws being broken, but not enforced because they're black. She should have had the police arrest them if she actually witnessed this.

      • Do you really think these people properly filled out their FinCEN Form 105 paperwork?
        You honestly can’t be that naive. People move large amounts of cash for a reason, it’s much easier to wire money but they move cash so it cannot be tracked.

  48. If the radical Marxist D. Party does not take the House back in 2026, they may have a hard time keeping their Somali's and the Somalian D. Party support system out of jail. … I know … wishful thinking.

  49. saw suitcases filled with millions of dollars of cash and the couriers

    On the Seas … On the Land … We'll get you anyway We can !

  53. "So, it certainly seemed like it happened every week."

    If it happened with regularity, then it's a payroll transport.

  55. If you’ve been to MSP lately, you’d know why these suitcases full of cash were transported so easily. A large number of Somalians work at the airport in the TSA and screening areas. I have no doubt that much of this was coordinated with employees at the airport.

  56. For some reason I thought you were not allowed to carry a lot of cash out of the country without some proof it's actually yours and where you got it from??

  57. How many of her colleagues had their beaks in those suitcases. Maybe this person was involved, doing a bit of pre-empting.

  58. Weird. If I am "caught" with $10,000 or more in cash, I'm not asked questions, I'm assumed to be dealing in drugs. If I'm "caught" with that amount or more in an airport I am grilled every which way to Sunday and 99 out of 100 times will be escorted out by a Sheriff into the waiting arms of the IRS. There are exceptions for world travelers with well documented clearances ahead of time, which I seriously doubt these IQ 65 ooga-boogas had.

      • No doubt. The recommendation I've always heard is get traveller's cheques, or use your credit card. For some reason our society made carrying cash in any truly useful quantity highly suspect to nearly illegal (thanks Nixon) for "national security". But if it applies to me, then it needs to apply to these semi-retarded bushmen as well.

  59. If an American has 10k in them when they travel the government can seize the money, but Somalians can go through TSA with millions and it's fine…. The government is our enemy.

  61. Who is stealing more money the Somali's or TSA? I believe the TSA is ineffective at best and is now just a parking place for federal workers.

  62. As a US citizen I was once questioned for bringing $600 into MI from Canada on the US checkpoint. Six HUNDRED dollars !!! I confidently told the CBP officer that this amount was well under $10K. They still detained me for another 40 min.

  63. Any regular US citizen try that and the would be in jail, even if it was their own money. There is something more sinister to this than we know.

  65. I don’t know what the rules are for traveling with a LOT of cash.
    However, I think it’s common sense to do more than just ask a few questions and take some pictures if people, ANY people, are traveling with millions of $’s in cash!!

  66. Imagine a normal size tube of toothpaste being denied. They scanned my contact lens cleaning solution after making me open the cap of the bottle. (Like they were not gonna be affected by being 3 feet away if it was a gas or explosive)

  68. There is something fishy about this story??In 2023 Minnesota $5.3Million in 2022 $8.5 million was confiscated buy the State Police of so called drug money just on traffic stops? I just believe that suitcases full of money going through the air port???but maybe so>>

  74. Once you understand that this and so much more fraud could not of happened and went unnoticed by the Democrats “OR” the Republicans you finally start to realize neither side is here to help us. As long as you don’t understand this you can be for a side and think “we are going to get them next time.” Wake the “F” up

  77. The USA has been fleeced BIG TIME by the INVADERS that have flooded the USA across our border and by Demoncratic politicians with their help and blessings…."We the People" are saps for allowing this to happen….people too busy with their vacations and "dumb phones". Happy 2026 you fat, lazy, stupid jerks FOR ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN….

  80. Could pile-up all those involved and be deeper than the Mariana Trench..
    Engineers of such at the bottom please…Waltz, we talkin about you…

  84. Don't try to fly to Belarus or Russia with or without any cash. You'll be in the HLS office in any airport leading outside of the country. Friends have told me the hassle to go visit family is.

  86. It used to be 10k some years ago. Might have stopped that limit when Obama sent plane loads of currency to Iran.

    • Ones that get labeled 'Pending' never get approved, don't bother waiting. Simply look for words in your post that might offend a sensitive, leftist mod and change them and immediately re-post.

  88. TSA AND the $10K limit were both instituted by the Patriot Act. Why did this TSA agent allow the money to move without at least a call to the FBI?

  89. 10 months + since we found out that social security had accounts with people over 130 years old and still getting thousands per month. No one has been arrested and the case has quietly been closed and forgotten about.

  90. Walz most likely was in on it, looked the other way, did what he could to cover it up. Likely got a cut and that's how he got the VP nomination

  91. In the meantime, get on the road with a few thousand in cash to go buy a used car – see how fast the cops pull you over, confiscate the cash as "suspicious," and turn it over to the Feds. Never see it again…

  92. George Papadopoulos got stopped for less when he returned to the US from Greece. In the summer of 2017 Papadopoulos had been given $10,000 in Israel by a likely US agent. Fortunately, he gave the money to his lawyer in Greece. But, when he returned to the US he had about 7 or 8 FBI agents rummaging through his luggage searching for money. How did these Somalians get out the door? They need to be sent packing back to the hole they came from, banned from ever returning.

  93. Question is how is one small daycare getting over $2 million a year. Daycares where I live with the same size make nowhere near that, not even close. Surprised no one is questioning this.
    AI says: The average profit for daycare owners can vary widely, but many can expect to earn between $60,000 to $100,000 annually.

  96. This is BS, 10K is the limit. They either bribed the TSA, or the story is bogus. If they did bribe, then the agent was complicit in not reporting a crime

  97. Wait….this makes NO sense.
    How do you travel with that amount of money (millions in a suitcase?) and NOT get flagged????

  100. Committing blatant crimes right out in the open, making a complete mockery of the FAA, FCC, TSA, etc… WTF???!!!

  104. If you get stopped by a state trooper on the freeway and you have just a couple thousand dollars cash on you, you'll probably never see that cash again.

  106. I can't carry more than a few ounces of shampoo or some aerosol hair spray through the TSA checkpoint without questions and these people can walk out of the country with suitcases of cash . WTF

  107. The government wants to track all my purchases and transactions but lets these bums fly off will millions of stolen taxpayer cash.

  108. The government wants to track all my purchases and transactions but lets these bums fly off will millions of stolen taxpayer cash.

  113. People in the United States can board airplanes with suitcases full of American cash money when heading to other countries, as there is no legal limit on the amount carried. TSA screenings allow cash in carry-on or checked luggage without restrictions, though large sums may prompt questions or referrals to law enforcement if suspicious. For outbound international flights, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires declaring over $10,000 in currency or monetary instruments via FinCEN Form 105 to avoid penalties or seizure.
    ​
    Declaration Rules
    Travelers must file FinCEN Form 105 electronically or with CBP officers if carrying more than $10,000 total, including U.S. cash, across all luggage and persons in a group. This applies when departing the U.S., with the form detailing the cash amount, origin, and purpose. Legitimate funds declared properly face no seizure, but failure to declare can lead to civil penalties up to the full amount.
    ​
    TSA Screening Process
    TSA has no cash limits and cannot seize money, focusing only on aviation threats during security checks. Cash in checked suitcases passes X-ray without issue unless it conceals prohibited items, but bulk cash may alert dogs or officers for CBP review on international flights. Domestic flights within the U.S. have zero reporting needs.

    So they can walk out with any amount of cash they want, as there is no limit on how much they can carry out, and where they are taking it to.

  114. If a WHITE man tried to board ANY flight with "millions of dollars", they would be immediately sequestered, the money impounded, and their reason for moving this amount of money investigated. But, the FACT is blacks [and, ESPECIALLY foreign born blacks] are allowed to do WTF they want?!

  117. I used to travel a lot for work. I would throw my loose change in my backpack and it eventually got up to about $15. I was stopped because of it in Portland and the agent suggested I not carry so much through the TSA.

    I honestly laughed at him.

  119. Probably a drop in the bucket compared to what the wives of Ukrainian officials carried out of Ukraine month after month.

  120. Gōvęrnmęnt, pōlįce, TŞA, FBĮ, etc. ALL complįcit in covering it up — repeatedly. No doubt people were paid off handsomely to do so. Money straight out of tāxpãyers’ pockets to enrich the few — we just keep getting řãpęd, over and over.

    • Others were writing them "permission slips" to get through easily?
      "their IDs were always documented, and probably their plane tickets as well."?
      When you have the Guv's signature, on your "documentation"…?

    • Democrats make the rules. and the laws. and change and control the meanings of words.
      and all the court systems. it seems to be too late.

      • That would require diplomatic passports. I would think the TSA agent would have mentioned that. If they did have them- Who authorized them at DOS? Who applied from Minneapolis?

    • You travel with any amount of money as long as you declare it. The questions are were they declared and what was their verification process on where the money originated? That has to be provided on the US customs form.

      • That's only if you are an American Citizen with a SSN. Then they feel that they own your @ss what what's yours is really theirs.

    • If you or I were to be caught carrying a few hundred dollars we would both be questioned severely and be required to prove that the money was legally ours.

      • Yep! And there is a very serious risk & possibility of immediate arrest (no questions asked) and automatic Civil Forfeiture in several extremely corrupt Blue states across the USA.

    • Yep. But clearly that only applies if you are;
      A. ) White folk;
      B.) a lawful US citizen;
      C.) have a valid SSN.

    • You aren't a special citizen nor can you ever be. Some here can have a dual loyalty citizenship so if the law cames after them for kid humping they can go to this special country where they won't be extradited like a lower citizen.

    • Only 10k if you are a normal American. Laws are enforced on us, not refugees especially if they are illegal.

    • It is. Any over 10k must be declared to the IRS IN ADVANCE of your travel. The penalty for non-compliance is supposed to be confiscation.
      But I guess that's only if you are white.

      • Also, imagine getting millions in federal money deposited into your "day care" business account, then going to the bank and withdrawing it in cash…..no questions raised, the whole system is involved in this scam.

        • If your bank information is true. Some bank administrators and officers need to go to jail. That needs special approval & it's obvious fraud.
          Problem is if bank people are willing to take scapegoat for the politicians.
          That's why we need underlings busted and threatened with long sentences before the politicians can be tied in and convicted.
          Who told that bank guy to do that
          twenty years. Only then will they rat out their political connections.

          • This is a laundering operation.
            Illegal sales of something generating cash are being traded for the federal deposits in the bank accounts.

          • right. The big thing converting it to cash accomplishes is makes “clawback” difficult if not impossible.
            It codifies the theft.

          • ……………………………SMOLI THEFT AND FRAUD AS PIRATES.
            RIGHT TO REDRESS OF GRIEVANCE ——- EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN HAS THE RIGHT TO ADDRESS ANY ACTOR WHO IS ADVERTISING A PUBLIC SERVICE OR GOODS, ESPECIALLY ONE FUNDED AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE.
            ALL CITIZENS HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT A PUBLIC ACCOMODATION SUCH AS DAYCARE OR HOME HEALTH, AND IF IT IS A LEGITIMATE ACTOR.
            IF NOT, THE CITIZEN HAS THE RIGHT TO CONTACT PUBLIC SERVANTS TO MAKE CORRECTIVE MEASURES.

          • OOOH! Good observation!
            The hassle of moving my own assets around even over $9000 is out the wazoo!

            My gosh, just moving my own stuff around from one place to another that’s all legitimate…… The paperwork, the people involved the ridiculous documentation just for six figures…. There has to be people involved with this from the highest levels. No. No. No. No! Something really smells!

            I have been with some institutions, (Banks and brokerages) for upwards of 40 years…… I can’t even access my own stuff that easily, and they have documented it for decades!

            Something really stinks!

          • LOL… BF they must be reading your comments & don’t like what they hear (just a joke)
            But you are correct. Yup! That’s why I say charges must be leveled at the bank OFFICER who told an administrator to approve it. Money laundering is serious charge for those amounts. Hope the perps flip and rat out the politicians. They may fear for their lives, & can’t blame them. But commit the crime serve the time!

          • A friend of mine was going to purchase a boat for 14 thousand, went to the bank to draw the money out and was told he could only get 3700. at a time unless, but he was welcome to go to other branches and get the same amount. It happens a lot. I have heard of countless stories.

          • That is because the banks no longer keep large amounts of physical cash on hand. It some times takes them days to scrape that much actual physical cash together and then still have enough to service other bank customers and be able to function to make cash exchanges on the small scale.

          • I don’t keep that much money in the bank and from what I have been hearing it is best to turn that cash into precious metal, crypto, land etc…

          • True on the crypto, but from all indication–it will be used for a while. A reset should/will be coming. I did purchase some but mainly for a transition that may come to pass. I’m not in it for the long haul.

          • That's not exactly safe either. If they ever decided that they want to arrest you and get a warrant to search your house (even if you didn't commit any crime) and they discover that horde of cash, they will confiscate it under Civil Forfeiture and make up bogus reasons to arrest you and run you though the wringer in court.

            Meanwhile your front and back doors are busted off the hinges, your garage door will be busted and your safe will have been ruined when they brought out a rookie lock smith who destroyed your safe. That is unless you own a Liberty Safe, in which case they will just call Liberty and they will give them the master combo without a warrant or even a proper check of credentials.

            Also your cash does not earn interest. If you take say $250 in cash and put it into your checking account to say pay off credit card bills or utilities, the bank or credit union will report the transaction to the IRS. Especially, if they notice you doing that on a regular basis, and they will.

            People have been busted for repeatedly depositing cash for as little as $250.00 on a regular basis, and they arrest first and ask questions later.

          • LOL,.. you do realize the government can just “shut off” your bank account and confiscate anyways ! If a bank crashes, you are out your money anyways ! I GUARANTEE YOU that the FDIC will NOT pay you back. In times of war, they can ALSO confiscate your money. I could care a less about “interest”. I have been paying bills by depositing cash and paying bills for YEARS and have NEVER had a problem. If you can PROVE where the money came from you have no issues… it’s those that keep depositing monies and have no “trail” of where it came from. It is NOT against the law to save your money at home. My parents had a very large safe and did it for over 50 years.

          • So several years ago, I got a call to help out "a friend" and was asked to buy his gun collection. I needed several thousand dollars in cash in order to keep his collection intact. So I thought I could just go through the drive thru at my Credit Union and withdraw seven thousand dollars in one go. 45 minutes later the gal that ran the drive thru window was constantly on the phone and peaking around the corner, to look at me and make sure I was still there. Apparently, she was reporting me to the Feds / IRS/ USSS, and trying to get permission from her bank manager? She made several phone calls and was going down a check list.

            I was damn lucky my local corrupt city police force wasn't waiting for me around the corner to arrest me and do a Civil Forfeiture.

            In the end they finally gave the the cash, but not before a lot of dirty looks, from the cashiers and bank managers all peaking over the counters or around the corner, like I was a bank robber.

          • We live in a small community with a local bank I withdraw $5-7k monthly 2x a month for our business… they rarely ask me …. But yes the banks will report anything over 10k and no way tsa lets anyone other than Somalis walk with million dollars in a case

          • No SAR's? I guess, like all of the SAR's on dementiajoe and his corrupt family and friends, they just looked the other way. Instead they went after President Donald J. Trump, a millionaire with NO SAR's.

        • Well TSA does keep records of that kind of thing…

          If this is the case, then we know the Somalis were indeed funneling the cash overseas.

          • Hehe, yeah, 'cause the TSA is the only non-corrupt three letter agency in the gov't. Those "records", if they ever existed, are disappearing as we speak.. err, type.. ;)

        • The rules and laws we live by are fake. They only apply to give Government control of every aspect of American Citizens lives and drain them of opportunity and wealth.

        • yes. Exactly, how does that happen? Without raising eyebrows at the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK Level and also at the IRS which does monitor the bank account transactions of mere civilians these days.

        • Yes, what bank will allow that kind of withdrawal or has that kind of cash on hand? That's the next question.

        • If u withdraw over 10k cash it supposed to raise red flags with the IRS. Even if u tell them u r buying a used car

        • It would raise massive red flags. Banks do not keep that much cash on hand as it is so taking out over a million even incrementally should have attracted federal attention.

      • Actualy you must file FinCEN Form 105 (CMIR) accurately for any amount over $10,000 with Customs but the U.S. maintains targeted OFAC sanctions on Somalia, primarily blocking property and prohibiting transactions with many individuals/entities so a full investigation would be expected in normal circumstances.

      • So either some people are being bribed to look the other way; or our government is allowing certain "officials" to thwart our laws through possibly diplomatic immunity, through the foreign Embassy. Not unlike how the Bush Admin. turned their eyes when Saudi and other oil producing nations were allowed to leave the Us during 911. Something is mighty wrong with this if that is the case.

    • You can carry a million if you want. But any amount over $10K you have to declare to the TSA. That includes all money in your possession including what's in your wallet.

      • CBP…not the same

        TSA = security screening

        CBP = customs, immigration, and currency enforcement

        They work in adjacent areas at airports but have completely different responsibilities.

    • THEY TRIED TO TRAP GEORGE PAPADOPOLOUS BY GIVING HIM $10,000 in Europe.
      THEN THE SAME TSA
      FBI WAITED FOR PAPADOPOLOUS AT THE AIRPORT
      SEARCHED HIM FOR THE $10,000 SO THEY COULD CHARGE HIM FOR >$10,000 !!
      Papadopolous was Too Smart for FBI, & left the cash in Europe!!
      so I guess history proves you correct. WHY weren't they busted??

      • Never mind the justice system. it is a TWO TIERDED COUNTRY.
        Democrats constantly get away with everything. including murder.

      • As long as he declared it and Customs filed out their forms he would have been ok. Obvious Papadopolous didn't want the headache or the suspicion so that's why he left it.

        • No, they would have busted Papadopolous anyways! They would have said that was tied to the Russian Conspiracy & had Halpern and the others overseas as witnesses.
          Normally you are correct about declaring, but in Papadopolous case not only were they desperate to arrest him no matter what. That’s exactly what they ended up doing, arresting him even though they couldn’t bust him at the airport, mostly because they couldn’t find that money at all! & it was money they illegally planted in Europe, so they could not admit they set him up. Thanks

    • There was prolly advanced clearance, this goes A LOT HIGHER than Pam’s street level convictions. Start with- Who did LE notify that allowed them passage?

      • Same dance in a lot of things (esp. Trafficking). Lots of "street level" arrests. No follow ups, no money tracing, no connections, no higher-ups. Standard agency (doesn't matter which) coverup procedure.

    • Enforcing laws is racist, Islamophobic, and for good measure, misogynistic, transphobic, and homophobic.

  124. Traveling out of the country and you dont declare large amounts of cash:

    If you don’t declare and are caught

    Seizure of the money
    CBP can take all of it, even if it’s from a legal source
    Civil penalties
    Could be up to 100% of the seized amount
    Separate from criminal charges

    Potential criminal charges
    Lying about the cash or trying to hide it can lead to charges like failure to report, money laundering, or fraud
    Recovery is difficult
    You must prove the cash is legally obtained
    Legal fees can be steep and the process slow

    So…WTF? you effin TSA people just let em skate?
    not the TSA job, but shouldnt they at least report to the
    CBP…

  127. Yet if I have 1000 dollars on my person, I best have full documentation of where I got it and what I’m intending to spend it on.

  128. Somali run Gateway Health in Maine is under investigation for massive fraud, CEO sent money to Somali to fund his own Militia….
    Interesting thing is many Maine Democrats are on the board of Gateway Health.

  142. No, there's been a limit on the amount one can carry through an airport with documentation….MILLIONS is not right in anybody's mind.

  149. Money to terrorist enemies of the US falls explicitly falls under the Constitution's definition of treason.

    Instead of denaturalizing and deporting them so they can enjoy the millions of dollars they have stashed overseas.

    TREASON —- which has the DEATH PENALTY.

    They need to get SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES!!!

  150. Time for civil war against the communist, Marxist, fascist demonrat party as they are purposely brainwashing innocent Americans to murder conservatives and republicans using their media cnn msnbc abc cbs nbc pbs and npr.

  152. A nation of Pirates, equally as bad as the Gypsies, who produce nothing and steal everything that’s not nailed down.

  153. I commented before I considered the obvious, IS THIS STORY TRUE? Nowadays, it is NOT a given. We are inundated with Clickbait.

  154. BS.. JUST TRYIN TO PROTECT POLITICIANS THAT ARE INVOLVED….CAN SEE STRAIGHT THRU THIS STORY….A LITTLE MAN CARRYIN A SUITCASE OF A MILLION DOLLARS…..IS 22 LBS IN 100 DOLLAR BILLS, 2 MILLION IS 44 LBS….SO LETS SEE A LITTLE MAN CARRY MORE THAN 2 MILLION…..RATS THAT EAT THE EQUIVALENT OF 3,000 LBS OF CHEESE A DAY GET CANCER

  155. Anyone else caught with a load of cash over $5k gets the money confiscated. This is a racist thing against the rest of the population.

  156. Well, Ihan Omar did give a speech claiming her #1 reason for being in the USA was to send as much money to Somalia as possible

  157. Me thinks it’s time to hang out at the MN airport. Two small-ies with a briefcase should not be too hard to spot in a dark corner of the parking garage.

    Jus’sayin

  158. Me thinks it’s time to hang out at the MN airport. Two small-ies with a briefcase should not be too hard to spot in a dark corner of the parking garage.

  159. Somalians in America get special treatment pulling off a fraud that help power people get their cut, so they are treated as special.

  160. The TSA Agent is correct. I worked as an Airport Screener at Stapleton Airport (old Denver international airport) as a second job back in the 1990s, and we had to do the same—we had to stop the screening machine, grab the handle of the bag, and call out to our CSS (Customer Service Supervisor). We weren't allowed to take our hand off the handle of the bag until our CSS arrived and put their own hand on the handle of the bag. The CSS would then call for a Superintendent to accompany him/her to a private room where the passenger had to show documentation of WHY they were flying with so much money, where the money came from, and to whom it was going. Photos were taken of all this info. (We also had to pass "tests" by the FAA at least once every 90 days. The FAA would send through money, fake pipe bombs, wires, etc. to make sure we recognized these things, and to make sure we STOPPED the machines when we saw these things, and other suspicious-looking items. I have no idea how "lax" it's gotten today, or if it has.

  163. Probably the videos or documentation have been erased or disposed of long ago …
    for privacy reasons right, or due to "illegal" suspicions based on "racial targeting" …
    TSA's won't help if their boss or bosses are in on it.

  164. Get rid of the TSA. Obviously they can't do a good job. And every law enforcement officer who let this slip by should be investigated. This is obvious corruption

  165. This was clearly money laundering, and quite possibly terrorist financing, arms trafficking, drug running or a host of other illegal purposes. What kind of documentation did they have to show? Did they have to prove that the funds came from a legitimate source? That they had a legal right to it? Who/where it was going to? How is it possible that the Treasury Dept and FBI never stopped any of it or followed up? We can't hate our government enough.

  166. I was stopped on the gangway by an agent asking how much money we were carrying on a trip overseas. She told us that anything over $10,000 was subject to confiscation. Why didn't they stop these people?

  170. But, police stop American citizens and take any cash they have on hand. Remember the guy after the Florida hurricane travel to Georgia to buy supplies to rebuild his house and they took his $36,000?

    They refused to return it to him. He finally had to go to court and 5 years later received his money back?

  171. All of Waltz & Co’s accounts and records should have been seized… but we have a reactive AG always trying to play catch up,,,, but not getting there.

  173. I can't think of one legitimate business that transports millions of dollars in cash, out of the country, in suitcases. They use digital transfers, certified checks, or some other DOCUMENTED method.
    Taking millions of dollars out of the country in suitcases = somebody is hiding something illegal.

  177. Try to withdrawal $3,000 from your bank tomorrow. You will find that the bank won't be able to process it due to the low levels of cash they hold. Exactly which MN banks assisted with this money laundering opertion? Did the the MN Bank file the appropriate SAR's (suspicious activity reports) with the IRS when more than $10k is taken out? Is the US treasury complicit in this operation? Remember Hunter Biden's bank accounts had similar activity generating hundreds of SAR's that were never investigated (he held a get out of jail free card at the time).

  179. yeah an an average citizen traveling with cash and stopped by the tin gods have their cash taken away because the driver may be out to buy narcs and the state gets the money

  180. Dont suppose it ever occured to anyone to detain them and question them. That would be too much like work I guess. Disband the TSA.

  181. In Minneapolis, most of TSA agents at airport are Somali and in on this. They wave suspicious packages through.

  182. If the federal government is unable to stop this fraud, which is really stealing from you and me the "taxpayer" then maybe the government shouldn't be in charge of collecting and disbursing our hard-earned taxpayer dollars anymore. The term fraud makes it sound innocent, but it's truly stealing. Those involved should be arrested and have their assets seized and then deported.

  186. I get stopped for carrying 13 oz of hairspray, but goat herders wearing bedsheets waltz (see what I did there?) right through TSA without a query.

  194. Shaniqua should have notified her superiors immediately but couldn’t because her nails were too long to dial on her phone.

  196. I had to jump through hoops when I was stopped carrying 15K in the 70's to buy a vehicle. Didnt think I was going to get it back.

  197. Under Biden, if you drew out $600, the government had to be notified, so somewhere there is a record of a lot of cash being withdrawn from daycare accounts..
    When you're a special color, you get a pass on things like this; well, you get a pass on everything.

  199. If TSA agent saw the money why was money allowed to leave the country?. Supposedly, any amount over 10 k has to be declared.

  200. Just like the Ukraine "leader$" sending their Girl-friends and Wives off to buy new Swiss Chalet's and cars for them. Some getting caught in Airports with suitcases of U.S. cash Joe Bribem sent them.

  201. Why would somalians, who make up only 0.18% of WA state population need 539 somali language daycare centers? That is over 10% of the daycares in WA state for less than 1% of the state's population and most of them are on public assistance. They don't work.

  203. this whole fraud story is a day late and 18 billion dollars short. those Somali’s may be stupid but they sure know how to steal money.

  204. under the QFS monetary system, it will not be honored if there is no legal paper trail. The Fiat dollar will soon be replaced with the rainbow currency and the fiat deactivated. They will be left with suitcases of paper.
    Guess what happens to all those pallets of cash hoarded by the cabal and deep state?

  206. How come they did not ask where that much money it was coming from? Probably,there was a connection with some TSA agents.

  207. This is a result of corruption at all levels of Government. Our Republic is done for. Absolutely no judicial system holding criminals accountable. That includes criminals in our Government allowing this to happen.

  208. Political correctness made cowards of all airport law enforcement, state politicians, and bank employees who let this slide by.

  209. Billions of dollars of stolen taxpayer money and I guarantee that there will not be a single government employee or politician held accountable and Pam Bondi will do nothing. When will Americans become so fed up that they start throwing the tea in the harbor?

  212. And I can't get through TSA security with a set of nail clippers on my key chain; but millions in cash…nothing to see here!

  213. there is no way that this fraud was not sanctioned and protected by the federal government. Just no way. If this did go unnoticed by our government, then entire departments need to be fired. We all know this was set up by our government to fleece the tax payer to divert that money to places like Israel. This money funded some dark ops like ISIS, God only knows.

  214. YYeah. The 10k rule c only applies if you are white and the TSA is actually watching. Yeah can't even get past the captcha challepnge

  215. Why were they going back overseas? I thought they were refugees, fleeing from violence and oppression. If their home country is now safe enough to visit, they should stay there.

  218. You mean TSA agents came across this money while rummaging through peoples luggage, looking for smaller trinkets to steal?

  220. So they fondled my nuts but they let someone carry money in excess of the 10 grand limit because they were boney bush bandits?
    End the TSA, they can go fondle each other in city parks at night to stay in practice.
