Said Awil Ibrahim, a Somali national who pleaded guilty to orchestrating $11 million in Medicaid fraud — the largest Medicaid fraud prosecution in Minnesota history — just walked out of court with five years of supervised probation and zero days behind bars, thanks to a plea deal signed off on by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. Eleven million dollars stolen from American taxpayers, and the man’s punishment is roughly equivalent to a speeding ticket with extra steps.

Let that sink in for a second. Eleven million dollars. Zero days in prison. Keith Ellison’s office looked at that math and said, “Yeah, that works for us.”

Ibrahim entered his guilty plea on May 1 as part of a deal with Ellison’s office that included a 150-day jail sentence — which was immediately stayed, meaning he doesn’t actually serve it. The one condition? He has to help authorities track down his co-defendant, Abdirashid Ismail Said, the alleged mastermind of the scheme who is currently a fugitive. So the guy who stole eleven million from us gets to play bounty hunter from his couch instead of sitting in a cell. What a country.

And here’s the cherry on top: Ibrahim previously testified in 2023 that a “cultural misunderstanding” was a factor in the fraud cases. A cultural misunderstanding. He culturally misunderstood eleven million dollars right out of Medicaid and into his pockets. Happens to the best of us.

Now, you might remember Keith Ellison. He’s the same attorney general who moved heaven and earth to prosecute Derek Chauvin — threw the full weight of his office behind that case, made sure cameras were rolling, made sure the world was watching. Say what you will about that case, but the man clearly knows how to pursue maximum consequences when he wants to.

He just doesn’t want to when the defendant steals $11 million from a healthcare program that serves the elderly and disabled.

Rep. Pete Stauber, a Republican from Minnesota, said what every taxpayer in America is thinking: “No jail for stealing $11 million from the taxpayer is absolutely insane.” He’s not wrong. That’s not a controversial take. That’s basic math combined with basic justice, and Ellison’s office failed at both.

This is the two-tiered justice system we keep telling you about, and they’re not even trying to hide it anymore. Defend yourself during a riot? The book. Steal eleven million from the most vulnerable people in the healthcare system? Here’s some probation, a stayed jail sentence, and a handshake.

The alleged mastermind, Abdirashid Ismail Said, is still out there somewhere — a fugitive from the largest Medicaid fraud case Minnesota has ever seen. And the guy who helped him do it is supposed to help find him, presumably between Netflix episodes.

Keith Ellison built his career on the idea that the justice system is broken and unfair. He was right. He just left out the part where he’s one of the people breaking it.

As reported by Twitchy, this plea deal is everything wrong with prosecutorial discretion in one neat little package. Eleven million stolen. Zero accountability. And a politician who will absolutely run for higher office someday asking you to trust him with even more power.

Sleep tight, Minnesota. Your tax dollars are in great hands.
