ICE Deports Illegal Alien Child Rapist Previously Pardoned By Gov Tim Walz
Repeated sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl
Woman pleads guilty to day care fraud — and also ran Feeding Our Future scam and autism center
The woman who was at the center of the viral fraud investigation by Nick Shirley has pleaded guilty to fraud related to a Minneapolis day care she owned.
Prosecutors say 50-year-old Fahima Mahamud owned the Future Leaders Early Learning Center and charged the federal government $854,000 in reimbursements for the Feeding Our Future scam.
She also fraudulently claimed to have provided up to 60,000 meals for needy children on a monthly basis during the scam.
Rather than use the money to feed needy children, she used the vast majority of the ill-gotten gains to buy real estate. Among those purchases was an autism center that billed the federal government $3.1 million over the last five years.
She billed the federal government for child-care expenses as part of the Child Care Assistance Program and was able to scam $4.6 million from the government.
Mahamud pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, but a sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.
Prosecutors said she booked a flight to London in February immediately after alerting the state that her learning center was shutting down.
News video footage from KARE-TV showed Mahamud walking into the courthouse while wearing full-body Islamic garb that covered her face as well.
Mahamud received the largest amount of reimbursement from the Child Care Assistance Program, which totaled about $4.6 million, after submitting over 13,000 fraudulent claims from 2022 until Dec. 2025.

She also fraudulently claimed to have provided up to 60,000 meals for needy children on a monthly basis during the scam.
Mahamud did not respond to requests for comment from a KARE reporter at the courthouse.

The Department of Homeland Security is criticizing Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota after signing off on a pardon of an illegal alien who committed horrific sex crimes against a child.
Laotian immigrant Tou Lue Vang pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl numerous times, but "Governor Walz’s pardon" prevents Vang from being deported, according to the DHS.
The DHS said Vang was scheduled to be deported a week after Walz pardoned him, preventing his removal.
Vang was convicted in 2005 of one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and was pardoned more than two decades later under the Walz administration. The Minnesota Board of Pardons is composed of the governor, attorney general, and chief justice, according to KSTP.
"I made a mistake, but this is a minor thing," the pedophile reportedly told police. He also told them that "it's a cultural thing to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12," according to the DHS.
He allegedly offered the victim $10 to stay quiet about the horrific assaults.
Vang was sentenced to 144 months in prison, but he reportedly avoided serving any time by pleading guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct. He agreed to 30 years of probation, which he was allowed to complete in 2019. He was pardoned seven years later.
The DHS said Vang was scheduled to be deported a week after Walz pardoned him, which prevented his removal.
"Governor Tim Walz's decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting,” said acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
"These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting. Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Following the conviction, he was placed in removal proceedings and issued a final order of removal by a judge. This pardon will take away this child rapist’s qualifying convictions that made him removable from the United States."

Far-left radical Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement, according to KSTP: "The Minnesota Board of Pardons made a unanimous decision to grant Tou Vang this pardon after an exhaustive process, which included a statement of support for the pardon from the victim, a recommendation to grant the pardon from the Clemency Review Commission, and a large number of community support letters."
The AG's statement added: "DHS is lying through their teeth about this pardon. It does not protect Vang from deportation."
A Blaze News request for comment to Walz' office was not answered, but his office released a statement to WCCO-TV justifying the pardon based on a statement from the victim.
"What happened to me was wrong, but I have had many years to think about this. I have made my peace with it. I forgive him," the victim wrote. "I want his family to stay together here. His children need their father. He and his wife have built a life. I believe that he has learned and grown since the abuse and that the family has suffered enough."
However, the New York Times, citing an official from the Ramsey County attorney’s office, reported that the lenient plea deal was offered because the victim had been pressured by her family not to cooperate with prosecutors.

Dominion settles $1.3 BILLION lawsuit against Mike Lindell over 2020 election allegations
The MyPillow founder and CEO is sleeping easy after reaching a settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over allegations regarding the 2020 election.
Dominion, which is now known as Liberty Vote, filed the defamation lawsuit against Mike Lindell in 2021 and sought $1.3 billion in damages.
'I can now run for governor, win governor.'
On Monday, five years later, Lindell's attorneys and the company filed to end the lawsuit with prejudice after settling out of court. The "with prejudice" condition restricts the same lawsuit from being filed in the future.
Liberty Vote said in a statement only that "the parties have agreed to a confidential settlement to this matter."
Lindell is running for governor of Minnesota, and the latest polling showed that he is the leading Republican in the race. In March the party endorsed Kendall Qualls, an Army veteran and former health care executive.
Lindell said in a statement to WCCO-TV that the end of the lawsuit was a "big relief" for him.
"I can now run for governor, win governor, and not have to have in the back of my mind a worry about a $1.3 billion lawsuit," he added.
Lindell was previously ordered to pay $2.3 million to a Dominion employee for defamation and ordered to pay DHL $780,000 in Jan. 2025. A federal judge also ruled that Lindell had defamed the Smartmatic voting machine company. A court has yet to determine if the case meets the "actual malice" standard that could lead to Lindell paying damages to Smartmatic.
He issued a defiant response in Jan. 2021 to the Dominion lawsuit threat.
Dominion had similarly sued former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani and ended the lawsuit in Sept. 2025 with an undisclosed settlement.

The three top Republican primary candidates are all seeking the endorsement from President Donald Trump, who has said only that Lindell "deserves" to be governor.
Whoever wins the Republican primary on August 11 will run against Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) in the general election.

'Game the system': Ilhan Omar's alleged net worth plummets amid intense scrutiny over her finances
Rep. Ilhan Omar, a radical Minnesota Democrat who has in recent years been accused of immigration-related fraud, is facing renewed scrutiny over her finances in the wake of a new filing claiming that she and her current husband, former Democratic consultant Tim Mynett, might have a negative net worth.
Republicans remain dissatisfied with the explanation provided by Omar's office — that the dramatic fluctuations in the congresswoman's alleged net worth is the result of an "accounting error" that has since been rectified.
'Voters see right through the corrupt lies of Ilhan Omar.'
Riches
The Somalia-born ethno-nationalist raised eyebrows last year with a financial disclosure report claiming that in 2024 — the same year that the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C., and the DOJ's public integrity unit reportedly launched an investigation into the congresswoman's finances — she and her husband held assets of between $6 million and $30 million.
The couple's sudden fortune was linked in the filing to Mynett's venture-capital management firm, Rose Lake Capital LLC, as well as to his now-defunct winery, eStCru LLC.
In addition to contradicting Omar's previous assertion that she was "not a millionaire," the May 2025 filing prompted House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (Ky.) and other Republicans to question "how her husband accumulated so much wealth over the past two years."
After all, she reported assets valued at no more than $208,000 in 2023, and a year earlier, Rose Lake Capital reportedly had only $42.44 in its bank account.
"There is no way such wealth could have been accumulated, legally, while being paid the salary of a politician," President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Jan. 22.
The congresswoman subsequently filed an amended disclosure for 2024 claiming that the value of the assets she and her husband held was between $18,004 and $95,000. The Wall Street Journal highlighted that in the amended disclosure filed on March 26, Mynett's businesses were shown as having no value once liabilities were factored in.
"The amended disclosure confirms what we've said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire," Jacklyn Rogers, a spokeswoman for Omar, stated at the time. "The congresswoman amended her disclosures voluntarily as soon as the discrepancy was identified."
Rags
Days before Vice President JD Vance claimed last month that Omar was under investigation by the Justice Department, the foreign-born congresswoman filed her financial disclosure for fiscal year 2025.
According to the new filing first detailed by the New York Post, Mynett made no income last year from Rose Lake Capital.
The only money Mynett allegedly earned last year was $201 to $1,000 from eStCru, which filed for termination in April — roughly one week after Omar filed her amended financial disclosure stating the winery was effectively worthless.
Omar claimed that the total value of her and her husband's assets last year was somewhere in the range of $20,000 to $125,000 and that their liabilities — student loans and credit card debt — were between $30,000 and $100,000. On the basis of Omar's financial allegations, her net worth is between -$80,000 and $95,000.
A spokesperson for Omar told Blaze News in a statement, "The amended disclosure confirms what we've said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire."
"The original filing was based on incomplete information from Mr. Mynett's businesses' accountants in good faith and deference to professional judgment. It listed assets without liabilities, and it significantly overstated her husband’s net worth," the spokesperson continued. "The accounting error created a misleading picture of far greater wealth. The congresswoman amended her disclosures voluntarily as soon as the discrepancy was identified. The amended disclosure is now complete and accurate."
Delanie Bomar, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, told the Post, "Voters see right through the corrupt lies of Ilhan Omar."
"Omar has spent her entire career covering up Democrat-enabled fraud that cost taxpayers billions, so it's no surprise that she would do the same for her husband," Bomar continued.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) stated, "Ilhan Omar and her husband need to be held accountable for their sketchy financial disclosures. They're clearly lying and trying to game the system."
