Minnesota officials and prosecutors are warning that the state is facing an unprecedented fraud crisis in its social service programs, with losses potentially reaching as high as $2 billion, according to those who have investigated the cases.
Republican state Sen. Michael Kreun said Minnesota has long been aware of the problem but failed to contain it.
"Minnesota has an epidemic of fraud, as the rest of the nation is learning," Kreun said. "We’ve known here in Minnesota for quite some time that we’ve had a massive fraud problem. And it’s turning out that probably Minnesota is the epicenter of fraud in the United States right now."
The warnings follow the massive Feeding Our Future case, one of the largest pandemic-related fraud prosecutions in U.S. history, and growing scrutiny of other state programs, including false claims related to the Housing Stabilization Services (HSS).
Kreun pointed to the HSS program as a clear example of how fraud allegedly spiraled out of control.
The program, launched nearly four years ago, was initially expected to cost about $2.6 million annually. Instead, spending surged to more than $100 million last year and was on pace to exceed $120 million this year before the program was shuttered.
"We’re learning [it is] probably at least $300 million in fraud right now," Kreun said. "And the fraud was so pervasive that they basically had to shut that program down."
An in-person investigation by Fox News Digital found that many addresses listed on the HSS and Feeding Our Future claims were fabricated. Some led the team to empty parking lots, nonexistent office suites and legitimate businesses with no association to the fraud entities in question.

Putz is still minimizing the scope of the scandal and deflecting blame from himself. The only way he’s leaving the governor’s office is feet first.
$2 Billion for a few thousand Democrat votes sounds worth it ... to rats.
“Walz’s Minnesota has become a magnet for fraud
and has a thriving tax dollar fraud tourism industry.”
“People come in just to defraud tax-supported programs.”
Yeah, people that think he’s disgraced and will step down… They don’t know him at all. He will continue the status quo and get re-elected for a third term. Because, in Soviet Minnesota the ends justify the means. He already has my in-laws convinced he has been discovering the fraud, but the state republicans wouldn’t help him fix it. (The gop were a minority in the legislature until this year).
Still unanswered is how a bunch of dumbass Somali pirates
...... from a hellhole nothing country...... pulled this off.
The Somali thieves expertly navigated the intricacies of US tax funding laws.
The thieves apparently had expert help.....perhaps even “Congressional” help.
"The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office warns of a “high threat of kidnap.” The US Department of State classifies Somalia as “Level 4: Do Not Travel,” citing “crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health, kidnapping, piracy and lack of availability of routine consular services.” - Nov 17, 2025
Yes, "do not travel" because we will import this crap for you.
........ fake autism therapy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I reckon that’s why Tim Walz is the way he is.
TDS Autism is BIG in the Minnesota Dem party.They have not been treated.
Agreed the Somali Grifters had inside help. I would think such “help” in defrauding should leave an evidence trail that could be discoverable and prosecutable, no?
Somalis are not all dumb hicks. They’re smart crooks. The welfare system isn’t all that intricate or complicated. After all it’s run by government employees.
This should make us all sick no matter our party affiliation. They came here to (supposedly) get away from corruption in their home countries and then turn around and rob us all blind. And they are refusing to assimilate, and women go around wearing slavery clothing with face covering. That’s why many need to be deported back to the country they came from. Our country can’t survive this fracture of different cultures and refusing to adapt to us. It was up to the State to keep track of how this money is being spent. Instead, they just gave it to them to do with it as they wished. And Walz is too busy everyday wailing and screeching over Trump all so his party can get power back to do us more damage done by that Biden regime.
The welfare system isn’t all that intricate or
complicated. After all it’s run by govt employees.
But......I was referring to the “intricacies” of Congressional giveaways.....oy vey.
Speaking Of Minnesota's Somali Frauds And Scams
Did illegal alien Ilhan Omar have a baby fathered by her own illegal alien brother, Ahmed Abukar Omar,
when they were dirty dancing as husband and wife in an incestuous marriage?
🚨 HOLY SMOKES: The Assistant U.S. Attorney investigating the Somali fraud in Minnesota says as much as $18 billion could have been stolen from the taxpayers.
He compares it to an iceberg-- "much larger than visible to the public."
All of this happened on Tim Walz's watch. pic.twitter.com/oqE0xRGXBl— CJ Pearson (@Cjpearson) December 18, 2025
