Looks like the Trump administration is moving on all of that fraud that’s been uncovered in Minneapolis. It’s going to be interesting to see who is caught up in this, especially a) given that most of it seems to be concentrated in the large Somali community; b) Rep. Ilhan Omar is Somali; and c) Gov. Tim Walz decided not to run for reelection after the fraud was discovered.
Federal law enforcement has once again targeted the sanctuary city on Tuesday, the site of last winter’s crackdown on illegal immigrants who settled there due to its lenient immigration policies. But again, this time, the focus of the operation is on fraud being committed by Somali-operated businesses in the Twin Cities area.
Among those being investigated is the now-infamous “Quality Learing Center” uncovered by indy investigative journalist Nick Shirley. The raids involve agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the investigative branch of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Notably, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) does not appear to be involved in this operation.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin broke the story on X, reporting that “FBI and HSI agents are currently raiding 20+ locations in the Minneapolis, MN area in relation to ongoing federal fraud investigations.” A DHS spokesperson commented: “Today the FBI with federal, state and local law enforcement is involved in court-authorized law enforcement activity as part of an ongoing fraud investigation.” He wrote:
BREAKING: DOJ confirms to @FoxNews that FBI and HSI agents are currently raiding 20+ locations in the Minneapolis, MN area in relation to ongoing federal fraud investigations. Sources tell FOX the locations are largely Somali linked businesses, including the infamous “Quality Learning Center”. I’m told these are court approved search warrants being served and they are tied to fraud, not immigration enforcement. Fox is told 22 search warrants were executed in Minnesota this morning.
DOJ spokesperson holding statement:
“Today the FBI with federal, state and local law enforcement is involved in court-authorized law enforcement activity as part of an ongoing fraud investigation.”
The feds have acted upon 22 search warrants, which were described as “non-immigrant related. Also, there’s video of everyone’s favorite Somali-run “daycare center” being raided:
It comes in mens and womens and lets your friends know you're happy to express your views and don't care what anyone thinks! Cheers!

Vice President JD Vance, whom President Trump has named “fraud czar,” shared Melugin’s post on X, adding: “The task force and the DOJ will be relentless in exposing these fraudsters wherever they may be hiding.”
Burn it all down, Mr. President, and let’s get some hefty jail time for these immigrants who have been financially raping American taxpayers as their way of saying ‘thank you for letting us into your country.’
