Two church non-profit groups have been outed for accepting millions to build a massive Somali community in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services have received $62 million since 1993 to provide housing, food, and other support for roughly 29,000 Somalis, the New York Post reported.

The population has boomed to over 100,000 with chain migration, and led to the rise of embattled Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, who arrived in 1995.

“This is a very big pile of government money and a whole bunch of different groups have come to get their own slice of it,” Parker Thayer, an immigration expert at the Capital Research Center, told The Post.

Thayer added that the total amount pouring into Minneapolis through government resettlement contracts is in the “hundreds of millions.”

Fox News host Laura Ingraham weighed in on the report, stating, “Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services have been cashing in on the migrant/refugee travesty for 20 years. A total scam—NGOs and globalist pols have done incalculable damage to America.”

Ingraham was far from alone.

Democrats imported all these Somalians into Minnesota, and became filthy rich doing it.

Global refuge is an NGO that received tens of millions of USAID money to resettle Somalians into Minnesota.

Krish O’Mara Vignarajah is President and CEO of Global Refuge (formerly Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service).

She makes about $800,000 minimum annually.

Born in Sri Lanka in 1979, she arrived in the U.S. as an infant when her Tamil family fled the civil war. She graduated from Yale (BS and MA), Oxford (MPhil as Marshall Scholar), and Yale Law.

She previously served as Policy Director for Michelle Obama and Senior Advisor at the State Department under Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. She also ran in Maryland’s 2018 Democratic gubernatorial primary.

These so-called “Christian” groups have destroyed our country. They must face legal repercussions.

It’s so maddening as a lifelong Minnesotan.
We have been saying these things about Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities for years as well as the fraudulent behavior of Ilhan Omar and her cronies.
