Somali Refugee Resigns from Maine City Council After Nonprofit Took Funds Meant For Shooting Victims
Iman Osman, a Somali refugee who had just been sworn into the Lewiston, Maine City Council, resigned after reports revealed that his nonprofit received $65,000 from a fund established to support victims of the October 2023 mass shooting that killed 18 people.
Reporting showed that approximately $1.9 million, or roughly one third of the funds raised after the shooting, was distributed to 29 nonprofits instead of directly to victims, despite victims and families being told the donations would go entirely to them.
Survivors and family members said they were unaware of the nonprofit distributions and described significant financial hardship, including large unpaid medical bills resulting from the attack.
Osman’s resignation occurred amid an investigation into his residency eligibility and after he pleaded not guilty to felony charges including receiving stolen property and theft involving a firearm, with a court appearance scheduled for March 9.
“Narco -terrorism” has nothing to do with Washington’s intended theft of Venezuela’s oil oh goddamn
The US intends to sell Venezuelan oil “indefinitely,” while depositing the resultant revenue in Washington-controlled accounts, Energy Secretary Chris Wright has stated.
Speaking at Goldman Sachs’ Energy, CleanTech & Utilities Conference on Wednesday, Secretary Wright said that Washington was “going to market the crude coming out of Venezuela, first this backed-up stored oil, and then indefinitely, going forward, we will sell the production that comes out of Venezuela into the marketplace.”
“The resources are immense,” Wright concluded.
