Gateway Community Services, first exposed back in March by the Maine Wire for misusing taxpayer money and engaging in explicit political activism, is now under national scrutiny.
Republican lawmakers in Maine held a press conference Tuesday calling for full cooperation with federal investigators examining allegations of Medicaid fraud tied to Gateway Community Services, a migrant services agency that has received tens of millions of dollars in MaineCare payments over the past several years.
The lawmakers said the case raises serious questions about state oversight, political conflicts of interest, and the handling of whistleblower allegations that were first reported publicly more than a year ago.
Sen. Matt Harrington, the assistant Senate Republican leader of York, said Gateway came under scrutiny in May after investigative reporting detailed allegations of systematic overbilling and questionable billing practices.

“At the time, the reporting raised very serious red flags,” Harrington said. “Patterns of overbilling and questionable practices.”
Harrington noted that while the state recently moved to suspend funding to Gateway, the action came only after national media coverage and federal attention intensified.
“This did not happen because Democratic leadership suddenly decided to act,” Harrington said. “It happened because the story would not go away.”
Gateway Community Services, founded by Somali refugee Abdullahi Ali, received approximately $28.8 million in MaineCare payments between 2019 and 2024, including: $4,380,787.27 in 2019, $5,343,145.12 in 2020, $5,536,030.98 in 2021, $4,878,840.07 in 2022, $4,485,309.85 in 2023, and $4,145,080.51 in 2024.
In addition, the company received hundreds of thousands of dollars in no-bid contracts from the Mills Administration, as well as various grants to its 501(c)3 arm, including donated money intended to victims of the Lewiston mass shooting.
In March, the Maine Wire obtained documents showing that Gateway Community Services had twice been audited by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and found on both occasions to have an extraordinarily high error rate in their billing.
In DHHS terms, an error rate refers to the frequency with which Gateway was paid taxpayer funding that it should not have been paid.
The first audit, covering the period from November 1, 2015, to October 14, 2016, resulted in a Notice of Violation issued on November 7, 2017, followed by a Final Investigative Report and Demand on July 23, 2018. Based on additional documentation, the recoupment amount was reduced from $170,982.21 to $125,058, which has since been fully repaid, closing the matter.
A second audit, spanning January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2018, and referenced as issued in 2024, included a Notice of Violation on March 22, 2022, and a Final Investigative Report and Demand on December 31, 2024. Here, the demanded amount was lowered from $776,022 to $537,550 after further review, but the case remains in appeal with the Division of Administrative Hearings at the DHHS.
Combined, the two audits account for $662,608 in total recoupments, with the first fully settled and the second still under dispute.
Given that Gateway was founded in Dec. of 2014, the records indicate that it has been over-billing MaineCare for virtually its entire existence. Yet for some reason the company was never barred from receiving such payments, and was even rewarded with extra taxpayer dollars through no-bid contracts and a recent $400,000 award from Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey.
Although the Maine Wire reported on Gateway’s over-billing issues and other controversies surrounding the organization, its founder, and its various employees, the rest of the Maine media did not pick up the story until a profile from News Nation retold the story of whistleblower Chris Bernardini, who was first identified in May by this publication.
Subsequently, the Mills Administration leaked to taxpayer-funded outlets — Maine Public and Pulse Marketing’s media arm, the Bangor Daily News — that DHHS had finally invoked the DHHS Commissioner’s discretionary power to stop payments to Gateway.
According to Republican lawmakers and public records, Gateway continued to receive funding even after multiple audit findings and while recoupment efforts were ongoing.
As recently as June, Gateway received a $400,000 grant directed to them by Attorney General Aaron Frey (D), a close ally of Gov. Mills. That grant was funded by opioid settlement money, though it’s unclear what work, if any, Gateway does around opioid abuse prevention and recovery.
Senate Republican Leader Trey Stewart (R-Aroostook) said the widespread fraud plaguing American welfare programs is a threat to every vital service upon which Mainers rely, likening the fraud epidemic to a financial armageddon.
”This didn’t just happen,” said Stewart. “It’s a system that’s designed by the left for people in their social circles. It starts all the way at the top of the federal government. With the Obama Administration, promulgated even more by the Biden Administration.”

“It runs down to the states, to governors across the country, including Governors [Tim] Walz and Governor [Janet] Mills,” he said. “And even at the local level, you see the bad actors. You read the headlines, you see what’s happening right here in Maine, certainly in Minnesota, and I would agree with what’s been said so far, that this is just the tip of the iceberg, folks.”
Rep. Billy Bob Faulkingham, the House Republican leader from Winterport, said the underlying audit information had been known to state officials well before the issue gained public attention.
“This wasn’t a mystery to state government,” Faulkingham said. “The evidence existed, and it came from DHHS.”
Faulkingham said he repeatedly raised concerns during budget negotiations and pressed for accountability measures, but said those efforts did not result in action from the administration.
Republicans also focused on Gateway’s political connections, particularly its ties to Democratic officials and operatives. Those connections have been documented extensively, exclusively, and frequently by this publication.
State Rep. Deqa Dhalac, a Democrat from South Portland, previously served in a senior leadership role at Gateway and currently sits on the Legislature’s Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee, which oversees state spending.
“These are not coincidences,” Harrington said. “They are conflicts that demand scrutiny.”
Lawmakers also cited Gateway’s involvement in affiliated organizations that engaged in voter outreach activities aligned with Democratic campaigns, including efforts during the 2022 election cycle.
One such organization, the Community Organizing Alliance (COA), is run by Safiya Khalid, a former special assistant to Gateway’s CEO. COA has recently taken steps to cover up the organizations ties to top Democrats, including deleting the organizations list of board members from its website. However, the COA board included many well-connected Democrat figures.
As The Robinson Report detailed in May:
COA’s advisory board includes Fatuma Hussein, Maureen Drouin, Chloe Maxmin, Joanne D’Arcangelo, and B.J. McCollister. Hussein and Drouin are, respectively, the heads of the Immigrant Resource Center of Maine and Maine Conservation Voters. McCollister is Troy Jackson’s former chief of staff. Maxmin is a former Democratic state senator, while D’Arcangelo is a Planned Parenthood board member. COA held multiple events with Secretary of State Shenna Bellows prior to both the 2022 election and the 2024 election, and the group is fiscally sponsored by Orono Sen. Mike Tipping’s Maine People’s Resource Center, the 501(c)3 arm of the Maine People’s Alliance — a key dark money group for Maine’s far left and part of the Arabella Advisors networks of influence groups.
Federal Investigation and State Response
The press conference followed recent actions by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which has requested bank records and financial reports related to Gateway and its leadership as part of a broader investigation into Medicaid fraud with national implications.
U.S. Rep. Jim Comer (R-Ky.) requested in a letter to the U.S. Treasury Department banking records tied to multiple Somali Medicaid entrepreneurs, including Ali and Dhalac. Those records could show whether taxpayer funds were transmitted overseas to support Ali’s unsuccessful 2024 run for the Jubbaland presidency.
Republicans also referenced a directive issued earlier this year by the Maine attorney general’s office instructing certain state employees not to engage directly with federal investigators without prior authorization. The Robinson Report remains the only outlet in the state to have reported on that directive.
“We are calling on all state agencies to fully cooperate with federal investigators,” Harrington said. “That means making documents available and answering questions.”
Scope of Oversight Challenges
Harrington said the Gateway case may reflect broader structural weaknesses in Maine’s fraud detection system.
From 2019 to 2024, more than 5,100 entities billed MaineCare, while the Department of Health and Human Services employed 22 staff members responsible for investigating fraud across multiple assistance programs, he said.
“That is not just MaineCare,” Harrington said. “That includes SNAP, TANF, WIC, and other programs.”
Rep. Katrina Smith, the assistant House Republican leader from Palermo, said the issue goes beyond a single organization.
“Taxpayers expect their money to support legitimate services,” Smith said. “They do not expect it to be lost to waste, fraud, or mismanagement.”
Republican lawmakers credited investigative reporting and whistleblowers for bringing the Gateway allegations to light after months of limited attention.
“This story has been out there for a long time,” Faulkingham said. “It only became unavoidable once it reached the national level.”
Lawmakers said they will continue pressing for transparency as federal investigations proceed and as the Legislature prepares for future budget discussions involving MaineCare.
“This is not about politics,” Harrington said. “It’s about waste, fraud, abuse, and accountability.”

Maine Democrat Gov. Janet Mills’ Administration Gave No-Bid State Contracts to Somali NGO that “Registered Migrants to Vote” — Organization Later Caught in Medicaid Fraud Scandal
The walls are closing in on Janet Mills and her Maine migrant-industrial complex — The trail leads straight to Democrat Governor Janet Mills and her administration.
According to reporting from The Maine Wire, dozens of federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) swarmed multiple locations in Lewiston this week tied to subsidy-sucking Somali-run nonprofits, Medicaid billing operations, and political operatives with deep connections to self-serving Maine Democrats.
HSI confirmed it is “actively conducting audits of businesses in Maine to protect America from fraud, waste and abuse & to ensure businesses employ only legal American workers,” adding that hiring unauthorized workers “undermines national security and it screws US-born American workers out of jobs.”
Among the locations targeted: the Lewiston office of Gateway Community Services (CGS), a taxpayer-funded migrant services hub that received tens of millions of dollars in MaineCare (Medicaid) payments, and multiple no-bid contracts from the Mills administration, according to documents obtained by The Maine Wire.
Gateway Community Services, GCS, founded by Somali refugee Abdullahi Ali, received approximately $28.8 million in MaineCare funds between 2019 and 2024.
Founded in 2016 by Abdullahi Ali, a Somali who resettled in Maine around 2009, GCS operates through a for-profit LLC and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm, Gateway Community Services Maine.
The organization’s alleged mission focuses on providing essential services to immigrant, refugee, and needy populations, including case management, behavioral health support, counseling, youth leadership programs, and community hubs in Portland and Lewiston. This are motherhood boilerplate statements to enable fraud.
The allegations regarding voter registration stem from investigative reporting, primarily by The Maine Wire, a conservative news outlet edited by Steve Robinson.
According to these reports, GCS received multiple no-bid contracts from the administration of Democrat Governor Janet Mills, funded largely by federal COVID-19 relief funds.
These contracts, totaling millions of dollars, supported “community health outreach workers” (CHOWs), who enrolled migrants in public benefits such as EBT, general assistance, and MaineCare (Maine’s Medicaid program).
Under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993, agencies providing such benefits are required to offer voter registration assistance, which critics claim GCS leveraged to register migrants and mobilize them for self-serving, leftist Democrat candidates in the 2022 election.
Specifically, whistleblowers and reports allege that GCS’s Lewiston office served as a “nexus” for the Community Organizing Alliance (COA), a group with ties to left-leaning organizations like the Maine People’s Alliance.
After federal investigations intensified, COA quietly removed its board list from public view, although archived copies remain.
This alliance purportedly conducted voter registration drives targeting “New Mainers” (a term for autopen-Biden’s walk-ins/fly-ins) and encouraged turnout on Election Day, contributing to Mills’ “victory” over former Governor Paul LePage.
For instance, in Lewiston—a city with a significant Somali population—Mills reportedly won for the first time in LePage’s career, attributed by some to increased migrant voter participation.
These activities are framed as part of a broader “payoff” system, where taxpayer funds for migrant services indirectly supported political activism benefiting Democrats.
Gateway’s leadership and political orbit includes Democrat lawmakers Deqa Dhalacand Yusuf Yusuf, both former Gateway officials, as well as Ekhlas Ahmed, a former Gateway employee later elevated into Gov. Mills’ newly created Office of New Americans, according to The Maine Wire.
GCS has not explicitly confirmed or denied involvement in voter registration on its official websites.
In late 2024 and early 2025, the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) suspended payments to GCS and issued notices of violation.
More from the Maine Wire:
“In May, the former Gateway billing specialist, Christopher Bernardini, came forward to the Maine Wire to allege that the government-funded migrant services agency systematically defrauded the MaineCare program for at least five years.
According to Bernardini, Gateway supervisors would regularly use back-end access to the Electronic Visit Verification program to create fake service hours, which were them submitted to the state for payment.
Those allegations tracked perfectly with public records obtained by the Maine Wire, which showed that the company has been under audit by the Department of Health and Human Services for most of its existence and has been found to have significantly over-billed MaineCare in each audit. Details from the “Notices of Violation” received by Gateway showed that the company often couldn’t produce documentary support for significant services the company claimed to have provided.
The first audit, covering the period from November 1, 2015, to October 14, 2016, caused Gateway to repay a significantly reduced penalty of $125,058. The second audit, spanning January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2018, was lowered from $776,022 to $537,550 after an administrative review, but the case remains in appeal with the Division of Administrative Hearings at the DHHS.
Last week, amid national bipartisan scrutiny of Medicaid fraud operations led primarily by individuals of Somali descent, the Mills Administration finally relented and shut off the cash flow to Gateway.
Although the company’s Medicaid income has been suspended, the administration has not commented on whether they will continue to receive payments under the no-bid contracts they’ve received from the Mills Administration or the $400,000 grant they were awarded by Attorney General Aaron Frey (D).
To date, both Mills and Frey have obstructed Justice Department inquiries and activities.”
Appearing on Fox News, The Maine Wire Editor-in-Chief Steve Robinson summed it up bluntly:
Steve Robinson: “Nonprofits and Medicaid agencies.
The particular agency in question is called Gateway Community Services. It’s a for-profit company that maintains a 501(c)(3) filing in order to accept grant money when a c)(3) designation is required. The organization has an office on Canal Street in Lewiston.
I was actually on site there investigating and recording monologues in front of the building when about 15 HSI agents rolled up with what appeared to be a search warrant. It looked like they were there to seize computers and filing cabinets.
What’s interesting about that building is that it’s a nexus for a host of migrant-run NGOs. The main Immigrant Rights Coalition is based there, along with a number of home health care agencies that also bill Medicaid — or, as we call it in Maine, MaineCare. This building serves as a catch-all space for numerous migrant organizations.
Another thing I would say about this particular location and Gateway Community Services, it is not just a Somali Medicaid fraud — it’s a Somali Democrat Medicaid fraud. This is an organization with elaborate and extensive ties to the Maine Democrat Party, including Governor Janet Mills and her administration.
There are two Democrat lawmakers — Representative Yusuf Yusuf and Representative Deqa Dhalac — both sitting state lawmakers and members of the Democrat Party.
When Janet Mills was forming the Office of New Americans as a migrant resettlement agency for the state of Maine, she selected a woman named Eklis Ahmed, who is a former employee of Gateway Community Services.
Furthermore, Gateway received numerous no-bid contracts from the Mills administration for the purpose of conducting community health out-reach work, which included registering migrants to vote in the 2022 and 2024 election.
So this is not just any organization that was allegedly fraudulently billing Medicaid. This is one that was very tightly connected to the Maine Democrat Party.
THE IMPOVERISHED, DYSFUNCTIONAL STATE OF MAINE
https://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/the-dysfunctional-stat...
By Willem Post
.The over-taxed, over-regulated, already-impoverished Maine people are super-screwed, trying to make ends meet in a near-zero, real growth Maine economy
The Maine economy has lots of low-tech/low-pay/low-benefit, bs jobs
The Maine economy has lots of woke, leftist bureaucrats
Screwed-over Mainers also have to pay for poverty-stricken, aliens of different cultures from all over, who illegally enter the US (a federal felony) from shithole countries that keep no records so nothing can be vetted.
.
Those unvetted, illegal, often voting aliens, from all-over, are:
- the dregs of Third World countries, sent to Maine by their US-hating, leftist, woke governments, in cahoots with Soros/Biden-financed NGOs
- getting free housing, free food, a never-empty credit card, free phones, free healthcare, free education/job training and whatever other goodies they want..
They, like Somalis, mainly suck from the government tit:
- have no skills, no training, no education, no modern industrial experience.
- will take low-tech/low-pay/low-benefit jobs at 30% less than screwed-over Mainers.
- are often good at crime, murder, rape, drug and human trafficking, and driving vehicles into native merrymakers.- the tens of millions of incompatible, subversive, walk-ins would rather undermine, instead of fight for traditional European and US values and culture.
.
Many millions of illegal aliens have to be shipped back where they came from, before they forever ruin the US, as they ruined Europe, France ,the UK, Ireland, Spain, etc.
.
Visual Ugliness of wind and Solar: Down-trodden Mainers often have to put up with the visual ugliness and noise of hundreds of windmills, that are often idle, because of too little wind year-round, and many thousands of acres of solar panels, that are often covered with snow and ice in winter; there is no solar at night.
.Girls Competing with Boys on Girls Teams: Down-trodden Maine families also have to endure the insults of government-imposed mandates of having their girls compete with “boys” on girls’ teams, and “sharing” girl bathrooms and locker rooms, and “losing” their matches to the “boys”, all as mandated by woke Governor Mills, surrounded by her cabal of idiots and her ingrown clique of bureaucrats sucking from the government tit.
.
Experience of Denmark with PalestiniansThe first generation (1992 arrivals):
Total accepted: 321 Palestinians
Still in Denmark by 2019: 270 people; about 84% remained.
Convicted of crimes: 204 people (63.6%).
Prison sentences: 71 people (22.1%).
Welfare dependency:
In 2003, 238 of 321 (74%) received some form of benefit.
In 2019, 176 full-time equivalents were on welfare.
Of these, 122 were on disability pensions; meaning roughly two-thirds of working-age people were on permanent pension payments.
The second generation (their children):
Total children: 999 born or raised in Denmark
Each couple has many children, because each child gets a monthly government check until 18.
Convicted of crimes: 337 (33.7%).
Prison sentences: 65 (6.5%).
This means the crime rate dropped between generations; from 63% down to 34%; but remained far higher than the Danish national average.
93-95% of Palestinians are Muslim, who do not marry Danish women.
In 2019, the Danish Justice Minister stated: “These asylum seekers should not have been let in”.
Norway, Sweden, etc., had similar experiences.
.
True Norwegian Story
A Pakistani male, 32 years old, dressed in fancy, traditional, Pakistani garb, as if he is an important person, walks several paces in front of his 24-year-old wife, who pushes a baby carriage with 2 children, with 2 on each side holding on, a total of 6 children.
He has to attend Norwegian classes to receive a signature from the teacher to continue to receive free housing, free food, free healthcare, and a free allowance for incidentals, etc.
He has to go for interviews for jobs, but he has no education, no experience. He gets a signature from the employer as proof of the interview, to continue to receive subsidies.
He came as a “refuge” to Norway, at 22 years old, did not speak a word of Norwegian, married a Pakistani bride, 14 years old, brought in from Pakistan by the Norwegian government. She was pregnant a few weeks after the wedding and produce 6 kids in 10 years. Each child receives a government allowance.
Norway is rich, has a $2 trillion pension fund, invested in world equities for 5 million people, of which 500,000 are “refugees”. The Norwegian government rakes off a percentage of the total each year.
The Norwegian government brings in “refuges” to satisfy Brussels, which means Norway can trade in the EU as if a member, and well-off
Norwegians can have vacation houses in Spain, Italy, Turkey, Greece, etc., but it also means Germans (WWII invaders) can have vacation houses in Norway.Prior to Brussels arrangement, no foreigner was allowed to own real estate in Norway.
.
The “EBT moms” problem is pervasive
Women who game the welfare system (and the taxpayer) by deliberately having multiple children with multiple men and refusing to keep a father in the picture. Those kids often grow up to be “just like their parents”.
The “EBT moms” expect to live off a multitude of welfare programs. Many of these women have minimal education and work experience. They live practically for free on the taxpayer’s dime.
.
Revelations of an “EBT/SNAP mom”, from X
If y’all was really smart you’d understand “kids is the biggest hustle out there”.
I don’t clock into no job,
I let Uncle Sam and baby daddies cut me a check every month. 5 kids = 5 bags.Food stamps, free rent, free healthcare, and child support on top of that.
My bills paid before I even wake up.
Everybody keep asking why I had 5 kids at age 26, because every single one come with a check attached.
My life secured, while y’all stressing over 9 to 5s.
Don’t be mad at me, be mad at you aint catch on to the hustle.This is the kind of “English” uttered by a SNAP/EBT “mom”, and there are tens of millions like her sucking tax dollars
.
Food subsidies have had the unfortunate side effect of helping to destroy the nuclear family, creating generations of fatherless children and skyrocketing crime rates.
.
Around 23% of all US households have single mothers.
Among black families, 47% are single mother households, 25% in Hispanic households and 12% in white households.
Approximately 7% of white families use SNAP, while 27% of black families and 23% of Hispanic families.
.
There is a clear trend here: Single mothers and minority families are the largest contingent of welfare beneficiaries per capita and the system is almost designed to reward their dependency. They aim for that “career dependency”, as revealed by the EBT/SNAP mom

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
