FBI Surges Resources To Minnesota In Fraud Investigation
1 day ago
The FBI has deployed additional investigators and resources to Minnesota as part of an expanded federal fraud probe, FBI Director Kash Patel said.
Federal officials indicate the investigations focus on the alleged misuse of millions of taxpayer dollars intended for social services. Reports have emerged of public funds being directed to inactive daycare facilities, raising concerns about potential fraud.
The investigations have largely targeted Minnesota’s Somali community, prompting criticism from immigrant-rights advocates who say the probes unfairly single out the group. Federal prosecutors and state officials have reportedly clashed over how the cases are being handled.
The Trump administration has cited the investigations in broader criticism of state oversight and calls for increased accountability in federal spending.
