Most Somali refugees start out here, at the United Nations’ Daadab refugee camp on the Kenya-Somalia border. They end up being secretly planted in some 200 U.S. cities and towns, without the say of taxpaying residents and sometimes even against the wishes of elected mayors.

Many of you have noticed I’ve been quiet this week, posting only one article about the efforts of Kansas Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins to win amnesty for an illegal-alien Muslim professor with ties to a terror-stained mosque.
Rest assured I haven’t been slacking. I was traveling on special assignment, so let me fill you in.
Refugee resettlement has over the past couple of years become a controversial subject in many state capitals as more Americans educate themselves on the dark underbelly of a program that has been transforming U.S. cities and towns for 35 years.
South Dakota — like Idaho, Ohio, Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, West Virginia and Minnesota — is a state where patriotic Americans have formed pockets of resistance to the resettlements. They’ve seen the fraud and greed upon which the program — run by the United Nations in cooperation with the U.S. State Department and its federal contractors affiliated with private agencies like Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services — is based.
Every White House since Jimmy Carter has been on board with the program. To be fair, the refugee program in the early days did serve to rescue victims of communist oppression from Vietnam, Cambodia and Russia. But it morphed over the years into a totally different beast. It now serves as a population redistribution program whereby Third Worlders from jihadist strongholds like Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Afghanistan, find their way to unsuspecting U.S. cities and towns.
The globalist program came up against an enemy in President Trump, however. He has cut refugee arrivals to a relative trickle, although they are still arriving from some of the most dangerous parts of the world.
State Sen. Neal Tapio, who is also a candidate for Congress, is seeking to rein in the resettlement of refugees from jihadist nations to South Dakota.
My task Wednesday was to testify before the South Dakota Senate’s Committee on State Affairs in support of a bill introduced by Sen. Neal Tapio that would place a moratorium on refugees entering that state from any country that has been placed on a federal travel ban.
Dr. Syed Ahmed Jamal of Bangladesh has been living in the U.S. illegally since he overstayed his student visa and the his H1B visa expired.

The Trump administration came oh-so-close last week to deporting a Muslim professor from Bangladesh who’s been living in the U.S. illegally for nearly a decade – but a Republican congresswoman has intervened to stop the deportation in its tracks.
Migrants took to the streets to riot in February 2017, in response to President Trump’s comment that Sweden’s problems were being caused by its immigration policies.

You might recall that President Trump got in hot water when he spoke last year about how Sweden was becoming, well, you know, one of those Sh**hole countries.
The once-peaceful country has seen a huge uptick in violence, rape and terror, since it began welcoming the Third World into its cities more than a decade ago.
Nheru Littleton, a 41-year-old Detroit man charged with making online death threats against Detroit police officers, pleaded guilty Feb. 7 to one count of making a terrorist threat.
In one of his posts, Littleton said: “All lives can’t matter until Black Lives matter!!! Kill all white cops!!!”
Yet, according to Wayne County’s top prosecutor, there is no evidence Littleton intended to commit any violent act or spur others to do so.
Center Line, Michigan, population 8,200, is a small town surrounded by the larger city of Warren, where thousands of Muslim migrants have arrived over the years, brought there by resettlement agencies, industries and universities.
That being the case, the Muslim American Society is co-sponsoring, with the city of Center Line, a “Get to Know Your Muslim Neighbor” event at the public library on Saturday, Feb. 10.
Gary Kubiak, who grew up in Center Line, said he was surprised to see the flyer promoting the event at his local library. He called to confirm it was actually taking place.
“I did call the Center Line library to confirm. The nice lady said the event is on, and said it’s a wonderful event,” he said. “She said she worked at other libraries where this event was held and thought it would be good to bring it to Center Line.”
Warren is not far from Sterling Heights, Madison Heights, Troy, Rochester and Rochester Hills, Dearborn, Hamtramck and Clinton Township. This cluster of suburban-Detroit cites has been on the receiving end of more than 14,000 Muslim refugees and migrants since the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. Hamtramck became the first American city with a Muslim-majority city council in 2016.
Welcoming America, founded in 2009 by the notorious Obamabot David Lubell, likes to portray itself as a mushy-gushy, love everyone, feel-good movement of American melting-pot pride.
Lubell has in the past stated that he believes most Americans are amenable to mass immigration from the Third World and would be more welcoming of migrants in their communities if they were just “presented with the facts” on how wonderful and productive the migrants are, bringing prosperity and vitality to every city they inhabit.
All we need to do is embrace them. Lubell took it as his personal challenge during the eight years of Obama to “soften up the soil” and prepare it for more “seeds” to be planted. The soil is a city’s native population and the seeds are the migrants – legal and illegal – blown in from the Third World.
There were lots of organizations working on the “seeds” but Lubell promised in various media interviews that he would be the first to concentrate on prepping the soil. He rolled out fancy slogans and billboard campaigns trumpeting the false narrative that uneducated, low-skilled refugees and migrants from Islamic hellholes were actually good for America.
He was master of the soft sell and had plenty of George Soros money with which to work his magic. It all sounded so nice and kumbaya-like.
On its website, Welcoming Michigan states: “At Welcoming Michigan, we seek to build mutual respect among foreign-born and U.S.-born people who call Michigan home today. Together. It’s better.”
DeSean Daggs lost his life at a house party when he was shot and killed by a Somali man who remains on the loose.
After we posted yesterday’s article, “25 reasons to end Somali refugee resettlement now,” readers began sending more examples of inexcusably bad behavior by Somalis who came to America at the invitation of the U.S. government and were given every opportunity to succeed.
That’s why refugee status is so coveted. You are automatically given legal status, a free education, Medicaid healthcare, subsidized housing if you need it, and access to help from a multiplicity of private and government sources. U.S. veterans and homeless Americans should only be so lucky.
But the story Tuesday listed more than 25 cases of violent crime, terrorist attacks, sexual assaults, and fraudulent schemes, not to mention the more than 40 known cases of Somalis leaving the U.S. to join foreign terrorist organizations.
One of the cases we didn’t know about was that of young DeSean Daggs in Minnesota.
Daggs, 23, of Eden Prairie, was shot and killed on Jan. 7 of this year at a house party near the University of Minnesota, while another 22-year-old man was shot and wounded at the same party in the city’s Dinkytown section. The shooter was described by police as a tall, 6-2, man with thin build “of Somali ethnicity and light complexion,” the Star-Tribune reported on Jan. 8.
Of the 11 countries included in President Trump’s refugee ban, Somalia has by far the worst track record of assimilation.
That ban expired last week and the U.S. will start accepting refugees again from the 11 high-risk nations, although Trump promises a more “extreme” vetting.
Vetting, however, offers few guarantees that the refugees will become good Americans. Many of the Somalis who have run afoul of the law came here as child refugees, making them impossible to vet.
Mall of America jihadist Mahad Abdiaziz Adbiraham
Recently we learned the Somali refugee who knifed two brothers at the Mall of America was not involved in an attempt to steal clothing – a false narrative put out by Bloomington police – but actually carried out an unprovoked act of jihad.
How do we know this? He admitted it in a prepared statement to the court. Mahad Abdiraham said he went to the mall on Nov. 12 to “answer the call for jihad.”
Just before Christmas we learned of a knife attack on an innocent woman, Morgan Evenson, while she was walking home from work at the Apple Store in Minneapolis. She was stabbed 14 times by a man described as Somali. That man remains at large and the Minneapolis police falsely described the attack, again, as a failed robbery. This despite the fact that he never reached for his victim’s purse.
The parade of Somali knife attacks continued last week when Khadar Hassan, 24, of St. Cloud was arrested and charged with second-degree assault for allegedly stabbing a woman he’d had a previous relationship with and was ordered to stay away from, the St. Cloud Times reports.
There are now an estimated 75,000 to 100,000 Somalis living in Minnesota. Many of the resettlements in the St. Cloud, Austin, St. Joseph and Willmar areas have been driven by the meatpacking industry.
And now Somali crime is starting to leak across the border from Minnesota into South Dakota.
Lutheran Social Services, which operates a refugee resettlement office in Sioux Falls, has offloaded more than 4,500 Somalis over the last decade.
But many of the Somalis resettled originally in Sioux Falls migrate to Aberdeen in search of work at Demkota Ranch Co., which runs a beef packing plant in the city. The latest group of approximately 50 Somalis arrived in Aberdeen on a bus in December, sources in the community told LeoHohmann.com.
South Dakotans are beginning to get a taste of the crime that has plagued Minnesota.
A Somali refugee was convicted last year for trying to sexually assault a wheelchair-bound mentally disabled woman at a group home in Aberdeen. Liban Mohamed, 39, had been in Aberdeen only a few days when he wandered away from the White House Inn, where he was living while hoping to land a job at the beef plant, and found the vulnerable woman sitting outside the group home. If a caretaker had not walked up and seen him with his hand reaching between the woman’s legs, there is no telling what he was planning to do next.
There have also been several shootings by Somalis in South Dakota.
In the summer of 2016, two Aberdeen men were shot at, one hit and wounded, in the street outside the Foxridge Apartments. The alleged shooter was Abdirhman Ahmad Noor, 24, who walked up to the injured man lying in the street and shot him a second time in the head. He miraculously survived, but Noor, who came to the U.S. as a child refugee, was charged with attempted murder and released on $50,000 bail. He never showed up for his March 2017 court hearing. Noor remains unaccounted for to this day.
Abdriham Ahmed Noor was released on bond after being arrested for a shooting in Aberdeen, skipped bail, and went into hiding.
South Dakota State Senator and GOP congressional candidate Neal Tapio is leading perhaps the nation’s most aggressive effort to expose the fraud of refugee resettlements from Somalia and other jihadist hotbeds. Tapio has introduced a series of bills that seek to rein in high-risk resettlements in his state.
“While many people see compassion to serve the less fortunate, the truth is the Somali community has not been able to assimilate and has proven to be a major terror threat in the United States,” Tapio said.
“Together with nebulous forces in the multinational meatpacking corporations, resettlement agencies and anti-American Islamic organizations with ties to terrorist networks, the Muslim Brotherhood, along with willing accomplices in the media, these policies to force relocation of proven subscribers to Islamic fundamentalism need to be exposed and crushed,” Tapio added.
Along with the cases cited above, the following list of documented examples shows a rather dubious record of behavior by Somali refugees and their family members.
Editor’s Note:As you read the story below, remember these types of legal actions are being filed all over the country as the Council on American Islamic Relations and other Muslim Brotherhood-backed groups aggressively wage civilizational jihad against the U.S., just as they have done in Europe. Lawfare is one of the main tools the Brotherhood uses against us, effectively weaponizing our own Constitution against us. I don’t think our Founding fathers ever imagined the First Amendment would be used this way, and I doubt my Catholic great-grandparents would have, in their wildest imaginations, thought of filing these types of suits against schools, jails, employers, etc. after they emigrated to America in the early 1900s.
An inmate has sued the Oregon Department of Corrections staff for failing to serve halal meals in accordance with his Muslim faith.
Turkish migrant and rapist Rashid Kambarov demands that the state of Oregon serve him halal meals in prison.
Rashid Kambarov, 29, who is serving an eight-year sentence for rape, filed a complaint this week in U.S. District Court in Pendleton.
The Turkish migrant is not a U.S. citizen but is living in the United States legally on a green card. He is currently incarcerated at Two Rivers Correctional Institution in Umatilla and is suing the superintendent along with other administrators at the prison, the Oregonian reports.
Betty Bernt, spokeswoman for the Department of Corrections, said the agency accommodates inmates’ requests for religious diets by offering a “meat alternative tray” or a kosher diet prepared in accordance with Jewish law.
