Listen up, America First patriots, because the Pine Tree State is rotting from the inside out, and it’s all thanks to the kind of swampy corruption that makes you want to grab a chainsaw and start clearing house. We’re talking about a massive Medicaid scam that’s sucked millions from hardworking Mainers’ pockets, funneled straight into the coffers of Somali-run outfits with ties to militias abroad and voter games at home. Whistleblowers have blown the lid off this disaster, exposing a web of fake billing, ghost services, and political payoffs that stretches from Lewiston to Somalia. And at the center? Governor Janet Mills, who’s now gunning for a Senate seat like nothing happened. This isn’t just fraud; it’s a betrayal of every red-blooded American who foots the bill for this nonsense.
The revelations hit like a nor’easter in late 2025, with fresh raids in early 2026 confirming what insiders had whispered for months. Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations swarmed Somali-linked spots in Lewiston, auditing for fraud and illegal hires that undermine national security. It’s the tip of the iceberg, folks, and it’s melting fast under the heat of truth.
The Gateway to Grift: Billions Bilked in Bogus Claims
Gateway Community Services, a Portland-based nonprofit founded by Somali-American Abdullahi Ali, stands as ground zero for this mess. From 2019 to 2024, this outfit raked in $28.8 million from MaineCare, Maine’s Medicaid program—including a whopping $4.1 million in 2024 alone. Whistleblower Christopher Bernardini, a former insider, laid it bare: the company billed for home visits and care for disabled and low-income folks that never happened. We’re talking millions in overbilling, with records faked to cover tracks. Bernardini connected the dots to similar schemes in Minnesota, where executives’ families ran parallel operations that looted over a billion in pandemic relief.
“Maine kept funding a Somali-run NGO after it billed $904,000 in just ONE YEAR for services it never provided.”

Ali, meanwhile, was moonlighting as a would-be warlord, running for president in Somalia’s Jubaland region while admitting to bankrolling militias with ammo and chow. He bragged about sending cash back home for bullets and food, all while his agency pocketed U.S. taxpayer dollars. Gateway even snagged $693,382 in Paycheck Protection Program loans in April 2022, handing out $2,000 bonuses like candy to folks who never lifted a finger for clients. Audits piled up—three in total, with the latest kicking off in 2023 after data flagged irregularities from March 2021 to December 2022. Overbilling? Check. Fraudulent claims? Double check. The state finally suspended payments on December 23, 2025, citing credible fraud allegations, but only after the story exploded nationally.
This isn’t isolated. Raids hit multiple Lewiston locations tied to Somali nonprofits and Medicaid billers, uncovering a network that’s allegedly hired unauthorized workers and gamed the system. Republicans in the statehouse are screaming it’s just the beginning, with fraud potentially spanning states in an organized ring. House Oversight bigwigs are interviewing whistleblowers nationwide, calling it a coordinated operation. Maine’s slice? At least $2.4 million proven bogus from Gateway’s $3 million in recent billings, but insiders peg the total haul in the millions more.
The Somali Pipeline: From Welfare to Warfare
Dig deeper, and the Somali connection reeks like low tide in Portland Harbor. Gateway and its ilk serve Maine’s growing Somali community, but the fraud’s tentacles reach back to Minnesota’s scandals, where Somali networks defrauded housing and autism programs alongside that billion-dollar Feeding Our Future rip-off. Executives at Gateway chatted openly about family ties to Minnesota agencies running the same playbook—bill big, deliver zilch, pocket the difference.
Ali’s militia funding adds a sinister twist: American Medicaid dollars potentially arming forces abroad. It’s not just theft; it’s a national security nightmare. And Lewiston’s become a hub, with Somali-led groups popping up like mushrooms after rain, all feeding at the public trough. One ex-Gateway exec even landed a spot as a Democrat state lawmaker, blurring lines between charity and clout. These outfits didn’t stop at fraud—they dipped into politics, registering “New Mainers” (code for recent immigrants) to vote, tilting scales in tight races.

Janet Mills: Enabler-in-Chief and Senate Wannabe
Now, the real gut-punch: Governor Janet Mills, term-limited and eyeing Susan Collins’ Senate seat in 2026, enabled this circus. Her administration doled out no-bid contracts to Gateway and pals, ignoring red flags since at least May 2025 when early reports surfaced. Mills handpicked Eklas Ahmed, a former Gateway staffer, to head her Office of New Mainers—a migrant resettlement arm that funneled state cash their way. In 2022, these groups ran voter drives that helped Mills squeak past Paul LePage, flipping Lewiston for the first time in his career thanks to immigrant turnout.

Mills stonewalled investigations, with her crew neglecting credible tips on Somali-linked fraud in MaineCare. Only after whistleblowers went public and media heat cranked up did she act, suspending Gateway’s payments weeks before the feds raided. She’s blasted critics for targeting Somalis, skipping a Lewiston rally against such “attacks,” but her silence on the fraud speaks volumes. Now, as she campaigns for Senate—announcing in October 2025 amid a crowded Democrat primary—she’s dodging the fallout. Republicans like State Rep. Billy Bob Faulkingham and Sen. Matt Harrington are demanding full probes, accusing her of letting the scam fester to protect political allies.
This scandal’s depth? Bottomless. Millions stolen, security risks ignored, elections potentially swayed—all while Mills prioritizes her ascent to D.C. over Maine’s mess. It’s classic Democrat playbook: import votes, fund fraud, deny everything.
Time to Drain Maine’s Swamp
America First means putting our people before foreign grifters and political hacks. Maine’s Medicaid fraud isn’t a glitch; it’s a feature of unchecked migration and cronyism under Mills. With raids ongoing and whistleblowers multiplying, the house of cards is crumbling. If Mills thinks she can waltz into the Senate unscathed, she’s dreaming. Mainers deserve accountability, not excuses. Lock up the fraudsters, deport the threats, and send Mills packing. This is how we reclaim our states—one exposed scam at a time.
