Govt grants to Minneapolis org for housing - but ties to Antifa chats, Somali focus, and address sharing? Rondo CLT gets millions, awards 100,000+ avg home grants. Dig in: Thread 🧵Image Rondo Community Land Trust (rondoclt.org): Receives substantial govt grants (city, state, federal per USAspending and congressional records).

2023 990: 7 cash grants for homebuyer assistance totaling $751,466 (~$107k each). Plus 3 subgrants at $70k each to organizations (e.g., Model Cities of St Paul, Metropolitan Consortium, West Side Community Org, each $70k for operations).

2024 990 update: Major scale-up with 34 cash grants for HOME BUYER ASSISTANCE totaling $4,640,115 (~$136,000 each avg). Religious exemptions for no-interest loans noted in 990s, aligning with Islamic rules against riba (interest/usury).

Article on site details Somali-American seniors in cramped apartments, often on depression meds, unable to use conventional loans due to faith-based ban on interest-bearing mortgages ("reba"). Fee-based alternatives exist but require large down payments. Ties into broader MN housing funding push.

Under the guise of democracy and humanitarian aid, evil forces misdirected the funds, and they were used to finance the flow of humans and money around the world.

The chart that President @realDonaldTrump credits with saving his life shows the low number of immigrants in 2020, followed by a massive increase in the number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. by 2024.🧵/1Image 📜The Plan.

It was not a coincidence that there was a huge increase in the number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. during the Biden administration.

In a March 9, 2021, letter to Secretary of the Dept of State (DOS), Antony Blinken, and Acting Secretary of HHS, Norris Cochran, more than 40 organizations and institutions advocate for programs to expand refugee sponsorship programs.
