MINNEAPOLIS — ICE agents swooped down on Minnesota day cares and other sites suspected in the state’s sprawling, multibillion-dollar fraud scheme as the feds ramped up pressure on Gov. Tim Walz and the local Somali community.
Authorities are investigating whether as much as $9 billion may have been stolen in a mind-boggling social-services scam they say was predominantly orchestrated by Somali immigrants.
So far, $1 billion in fraud has been confirmed by authorities, including $300 million tied to fake food handouts, $220 million involving bogus autism programs and $302 million tied to housing subsidies that never went to those in need, according to a breakdown by Fox News.
