<p>The Trump administration is calling up roughly 2,000 federal immigration agents to head to Minnesota as part of a massive month-long crackdown.</p>
<p>Officers from all areas of the country were instructed over the weekend to head to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trumps-ice-director-blames-sanctuary-laws-for-minnesota-fraud?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=8&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump%E2%80%99s+ICE+Director+Blames+Sanctuary+Laws+For+Minnesota+Fraud">Minnesota</a> &#8220;ASAP&#8221; to assist in the operation, Homeland Security sources told The Daily Wire. Homeland Security Investigations agents are also expected to conduct fraud investigations after federal prosecutors found that dozens of Somalis living in Minnesota were allegedly tied to a multibillion-dollar swindling scheme, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/minneapolis-federal-agents-crackdown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>Investigators believe that the alleged fraudsters stole $9 billion in taxpayer funds as they funneled cash from state welfare programs through fake nonprofits and shell companies back to Somalia — and even Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab, City Journal <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/minnesota-welfare-fraud-somalia-al-shabaab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> last month.</p>
<p>More than 90 people have been charged since 2021, while more than 60 have thus far been convicted, CBS reported, citing court documents.</p>
<p>Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino, who has become the poster child for the Trump administration&#8217;s immigration sweeps in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, and New Orleans, is also expected to deploy to Minnesota with fellow Border Patrol agents, according to CBS News.</p>
<p>Immigration and Customs Enforcement also has planes at the ready to fly detainees out of Minnesota and into other areas of the country, where there is more available detention space to set them up for deportation, one Homeland Security source said.</p>

<p>The deployment has already faced some roadblocks, with DHS posting apparent screenshots of emails with Hilton employees saying they cancelled reservations for federal immigration authorities.</p>
<p>&#8220;After further investigation online, we have found information about immigration work connected with your name and we will be cancelling your upcoming reservation,&#8221; one email allegedly sent by the hotel read.</p>

<p>&#8220;We have noticed an influx of GOV reservations made today that have been for DHS, and we are not allowing any ICE or immigration agents to stay at our property,&#8221; another email read, according to screenshots posted by DHS.</p>
<p>At the end of 2025, the Trump administration commenced &#8220;Operation Metro Surge,&#8221; which resulted in the arrests of more than 400 illegal immigrants roaming Minnesota as the fraud allegations emerged. The latest deployment marks a massive expansion of President Donald Trump&#8217;s mass deportation sweeps going into the new year.</p>
<p>Federal agents were also seen going <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-conduct-door-to-door-checks-at-suspected-minneapolis-fraud-sites?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Feds+Conduct+Door-To-Door+Checks+At+Suspected+Minneapolis+Fraud+Sites">door-to-door</a> in Minneapolis last week after video emerged of YouTuber Nick Shirley questioning owners of local daycares suspected of participating in fraud.</p>
