From Fox News: Federal authorities were conducting a “massive” investigation in Minnesota on Monday, days after a video posted online by an independent journalist on alleged fraud involving daycare centers.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were on the ground in Minneapolis, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X.
A video Noem posted online showed HSI agents questioning someone outside a building, but it was not clear what type of business the person was involved in.
Another video posted by ICE showed investigators going door-to-door at various sites.
In the first video, Noem wrote, “Homeland Security Investigations @ICEGov are on the ground in Minneapolis right now conducting a massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud. ”

In the second video, DHS announced, “DHS is on the ground in Minneapolis, going DOOR TO DOOR at suspected fraud sites. The American people deserve answers on how their taxpayer money is being used and ARRESTS when abuse is found. Under the leadership of @Sec_Noem, DHS is working to deliver results.”

On Sunday, Education Secretary Linda McMahon shared a clip from journalist Nick Shirley’s bombshell investigative video and wrote, “One fraudulent business in Minnesota that misspelled “learning” on its building received $1.9M this year while masquerading as a daycare. There are not enough words to describe the breathtaking failure that has happened under the watch of @GovTimWalz.”

In an update Monday afternoon, McMahon added, “.@GovTimWalz invited billions of dollars in fraud at the taxpayer’s expense. The Trump Administration stopped $1 billion in student aid fraud this year — and is now working to clean up the mess in Minnesota. We are not the same.”
