Homeland Security to Investigate 30 Sites in Minneapolis

Homeland Security agents are conducting a significant investigation into childcare and fraud in Minneapolis, inspecting over 30 sites, including smoke shops, as part of a broader initiative. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem indicated that the focus includes both suspected fraud and immigration enforcement. The FBI has ramped up resources, with potential fraud in Minnesota’s Medicaid programs estimated at $9 billion, though state officials dispute this figure. More than 90 individuals have been accused or convicted of defrauding the state, intensifying scrutiny on Gov. Tim Walz’s administration.
