Editor’s note: Why Sahan Journal is reporting on alleged fraud in the federal meals program.

by Mukhtar M. Ibrahim

I started Sahan Journal to provide committed coverage to immigrants and people of color in Minnesota. But it’s not all good news. Sometimes that means reporting on allegations that some people would rather keep out of the public view. We owe our readers the truth. And we need to be honest with ourselves about potential wrongdoing.
