<p>Homeland Security Investigations agents were on the ground in Minneapolis on Monday, conducting door-to-door checks at suspected fraud sites, as authorities examined the alleged involvement of Somali immigrants in a broader criminal scheme.</p>
<p>The Department of Homeland Security posted a video showing two agents entering a convenience store, where they ask the clerk about a suspicious business next door. Last week, independent journalist Nick Shirley posted a 42-minute video <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/independent-journalist-who-uncovered-minnesota-fraud-says-a-kindergartner-could-figure-it-out">alleging</a> that numerous daycare and learning centers in the Twin Cities area had no children on-site, despite receiving millions of dollars in government funding.</p>
<p>&#8220;The American people deserve answers on how their taxpayer money is being used and ARRESTS when abuse is found. Under the leadership of [Secretary Kristi Noem], DHS is working to deliver results,&#8221; Homeland Security posted on social media.</p>

<p data-start="107" data-end="357">Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin posted two more videos of federal agents on the ground in Minneapolis, adding that they are &#8220;conducting a large scale investigation on fraudulent daycare and healthcare centers, as well as other rampant fraud.&#8221;</p>

<p data-start="107" data-end="357">FBI Director Kash Patel <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/2005305530651189719">said</a> on Sunday that the bureau had already “surged personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs” before the issue gained traction on social media last week.</p>
<p data-start="362" data-end="699">Patel pointed to the FBI’s role in uncovering the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme, which received government funding to provide meals to hungry children during the COVID pandemic but allegedly never distributed food. The Feeding Our Future investigation was closed before Patel became the FBI director. The vast majority of the people charged and convicted were of Somali descent.</p>
<p>&#8220;The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing,&#8221; Patel added.</p>

<p>The recent revelations from Shirley have refocused attention on Minnesota and its Democratic governor, Tim Walz, who has been the subject of frequent criticism from President Donald Trump this year. Trump has recently targeted Minneapolis and its large Somali community in his immigration enforcement operations. Walz, meanwhile, has defended the Somali community and his own actions amid the fraud accusations.</p>
<p>A federal prosecutor said earlier this month that 14 Minnesota social programs have lost at least $9 billion from fraud since 2018. When asked earlier this month if the state government needed to do more to hold the Somali community accountable, Walz <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1999548617556722012">shot back</a>, saying that a majority of the crime was being &#8220;committed by white men.&#8221; In reality, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/minnesota-fraud-feeding-our-future-medicaid-9911799c0d0149a64a042abed095be57">82 of the 92</a> people charged so far in the Minnesota fraud scheme are Somali Americans, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Minnesota.</p>
