Federal agents probing a Somali immigrant cash-courier operation that funneled massive sums through Minneapolis have uncovered a new stop along the route: Columbus, Ohio.
Homeland Security Department officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration officers have tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash packed into outbound luggage at passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023.
Officials said the cash was carried by U.S. citizens of Somali origin flying out of Columbus en route to Minneapolis or Atlanta. The couriers declared the money as required on federal forms.
