Carl Higbie and Steve Robinson examined the activities of Abdullahi Ali, a Somali American who became a U.S. citizen in 2009 and went on to build several organizations in Maine, including a multimillion-dollar migrant care service agency.
During the Newsmax segment, they outlined how Ali simultaneously pursued political power abroad while receiving taxpayer-funded contracts at home.
Higbie opened the segment by outlining Ali’s path and recent political ambitions.
He said, “Let’s introduce you to Somali American Abdullahi Ali, who came to the US from Somali in 2009 you’re looking at, obviously the man on my right who had discovered this story has he became a US citizen. Started a nonprofit to help immigrants, started several businesses, including a multi million dollar migrant care service agency. And in 2024 he ran for President as he raised money to bankroll a militia in Somalia.”
Higbie added that Ali admitted in an interview with Kenyan media that he raised money in the United States to purchase weapons and supplies for a paramilitary force he hoped to command as the president of Jubaland.
Higbie continued, “Yes, you heard that right. A US citizen who, according to the main wire, gave an interview with Kenyan media in which he said he raised money in the US to buy weapons, munitions and supplies for paramilitary force he had hoped to lead as the president of Jubaland, yes, that is a real state in Somalia. He was running for president in Somalia. Of course, he lost the election.”
Higbie noted that Newsmax attempted to reach Gateway Community Services, the organization Ali founded, but received no response.

Introducing Robinson, he said, “Ironically enough, the man who broke this report, Editor in Chief of the Maine wire, Steve Robinson, dude, this is crazy.”
Robinson described how Ali was running a taxpayer-funded operation while engaging in foreign political activity abroad.
He said, “You really can’t make this stuff up. I mean, the guy is running a migrant services agency that bills Main Care, which is what we call Medicaid, about $5 million a year at the same time that he’s running for president. And to be clear, in Somali that he’s running to be the warlord of Jubaland.”
Robinson explained the nature of political contests in the region, stating, “You know, elections in Jubaland aren’t exactly like elections in America. It’s, you know, whoever has the most guns is able to certify the election. So he needed to buy a paramilitary organization and paramilitary support in order to win that election, and he lost it.”
He then detailed how Ali received no-bid contracts from Maine’s Democratic governor Janet Mills while he was overseas pursuing political power.
Robinson continued, “But at the very same time that he was in Jubaland and and Kenya, trying to become a warlord in southern Somalia, he was getting no bid contracts from the administration of governor Janet Mills, a Democrat who has been in cahoots with Gateway Community Services from the very beginning.”
Robinson said the behavior is part of a broader political structure.
“So if there’s one thing that I would implore your listeners to understand, it’s in Minnesota and in Maine. It’s not just the Somali diaspora that has come over here and decided to engage in this criminal behavior. It’s a industrial complex with the Democratic Party that enables and turns a blind eye to this behavior, because they benefit from it through political support.”
Robinson also described how several former employees of Gateway Community Services have entered Maine politics.
He said, “And indeed, Abdullahi Ali is number two, his assistant executive director, is the former mayor of South Portland, Maine, and is currently a state representative from South Portland and a member of the Appropriations Committee.
Deqa Dhalac, one of his former employees, Yusuf Yusuf is a representative from Portland. Many, many Gateway Community Services alums have gone on to become involved in politics.”
He added that the state’s Office of New Americans was created with direct connections to the same network.
Robinson said, “And governor Janet Mills created the Office of New Americans specifically to cater to the new Americans, new Mainers, illegal aliens, and the only employee of that organization is El Cass Ahmed from Sudan, who is a former employee of Gateway Community Services.”
Higbie closed the segment with a blunt summary.
He said, “Like, I wish I had more time for this, but you’re on a roll, basically. Long story short is Maine’s got a bunch of fraud, with people taking money from the government and the taxpayers and then buying rocket launchers, sending them back to run for elections and president of whatever that place is, jubilant.”
He added that the same networks then work on political campaigns in Maine.
Higbie continued, “And then they’re also turning around and getting out the vote for Democrats in places like Lewiston Maine and Portland Maine. And when you drive into Maine, there’s a big sign that says, Maine, the way life should be, not the way I see it. Steve Robinson, we appreciate it.”
Robinson responded, “Thank you.”
Higbie ended the conversation by saying, “Get me off this planet.”
