Federal agents execute 22 search warrants at Minnesota businesses in social welfare fraud investigation
Federal agents from the FBI, DHS, and state and local law enforcement executed 22 search warrants at businesses in the Minneapolis area on Tuesday as part of an ongoing fraud investigation into publicly funded social programs. Most targeted locations were businesses receiving Medicaid funding, including childcare facilities, many linked to Minnesota's Somali community. Governor Tim Walz welcomed the raids while FBI Director Kash Patel publicly disputed Walz's claims of credit for the operation.
