Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
Federal agents are cracking down on widespread fraud tied to Somali-run daycare centers in Minneapolis, targeting scams that rip off state and federal programs like Medicaid and child nutrition aid. The operation, involving DHS and FBI, has resulted in arrests and raids, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirming the push against childcare fraud. The push comes after years of scrutiny, including the Feeding Our Future scandal, and prosecutors now estimate total fraud losses in Minnesota could top one billion dollars. House Oversight Chairman James Comer plans to subpoena top state officials as Congress investigates the issue.
