"MAGA has discovered a new folk villain: the Somali immigrant in Minnesota, allegedly ferrying your tax dollars out of the country in a suitcase labeled 'Fraud.' It’s a convenient character — exotic enough to frighten cable news viewers, pliable enough to fit any storyline, and distant enough that the people being stereotyped don’t get to rewrite the script."

"But the actual Minnesota fraud saga — the one in court filings, verdicts, and agency statements — doesn’t cooperate with the morality play. ...

The most stubborn fact for anyone trying to sell this as a tidy ethnic fable: the mastermind whom federal prosecutors put at the center of the Feeding Our Future case is a woman named Aimee Bock. Brock is not a Somali immigrant, nor a recent arrival. She is a white Minnesotan."
