Federal Officials Launch Massive Operation in Response to Billions-Scale Minnesota Fraud

The scandal continues to grow. Fox News: Federal authorities are launching a “massive operation” in Minnesota on Tuesday to “identify, arrest, and remove criminals who are defrauding the American people,” the Department of Homeland Security said. “Our investigative agents are conducting a massive operation to identify, arrest, and remove criminals who are defrauding the American people. We will root out this rampant fraud plaguing Minnesota,” the agency wrote on X

Every single criminal involved in this criminal racket should be denaturalized and deported.

To date, what we have seen from people like Governor Tim Walz mirrors what we saw from Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas under Biden. That is: Tell the people you’re doing all you can and you’re succeeding in your mission, when in fact you’re just lying to the American people and deliberately failing.

We have frozen all child care payments to the state of Minnesota.

You have probably read the serious allegations that the state of Minnesota has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to fraudulent daycares across Minnesota over the past decade.

Today we have taken three actions… pic.twitter.com/VYbyf3WGop

DHS launches operation to arrest, remove suspected fraudsters in Minneapolis

Authorities are launching a “massive operation” in Minnesota on Tuesday to “identify, arrest, and remove criminals who are defrauding the American people,” the Department of Homeland Security said.

“Our investigative agents are conducting a massive operation to identify, arrest, and remove criminals who are defrauding the American people. We will root out this rampant fraud plaguing Minnesota,” the agency wrote on X.

Fox News Digital has reached out to DHS and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The DHS announcement came a day after the department said it had launched an operation to investigate fraud in the city of Minneapolis after the release of a video by an independent journalist that questioned daycare center operators in the area.

Videos posted by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday showed Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents going door-to-door questioning businesses.

Minnesota has come under intense scrutiny in recent weeks after authorities revealed multi-million fraud operations in the state, resulting in dozens of arrests and indictments.

Over the weekend, FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau had moved resources into the state, pointing to the Feeding Our Future investigation, which uncovered an at least $250 million scheme that siphoned federal food aid intended for children during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Patel’s announcement came in the wake of a viral video posted on social media Friday by independent journalist Nick Shirley that highlighted alleged fraud involving Minnesota childcare and learning centers.

In the video, many of the facilities appeared non-operational despite allegedly receiving millions of dollars in government aid.

The video quickly went viral and prompted several Republican lawmakers to call for an investigation and to call out Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, accusing his office of failing to oversee where and how taxpayer funds were being used.
