Republicans are demanding accountability over the Minnesota fraud scandal, accusing state Democrats of failing to prevent billions of dollars in taxpayer funds from being stolen. A Florida lawmaker is now calling for aggressive federal action, comparing the alleged fraud to "organized crime."
"This is what the mafia does. They steal, they lie, they cheat," Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., said on "Fox News Live" Thursday.
"The federal government has to use the full powers that we used to destroy the mafia back in the 1960s. Nothing short of it," he added.
Federal authorities have launched an operation in Minnesota to "identify, arrest, and remove criminals who are defrauding the American people," according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Prosecutors accuse Minnesota of widespread fraud involving child care and other social services, saying losses could reach into the billions.
The Trump administration says it plans to freeze certain federal child care funds until states provide additional verification for the programs. In a post on X, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accused Trump of playing politics in response to the proposed funding freeze.
"We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue — but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans," Walz wrote on Tuesday.

“The question needs to be asked: Who taught these third world migrants how to set up false business fronts to defraud taxpayer subsidies? Who has been hiding their blatantly illegal activities? How have they been getting away with the scam for so long despite incidents of high level whistleblowers calling out their criminality?”
SHAFT!!!
Another article at Zerohedge:
“500 Illegal Immigrants Arrested In Minnesota, 1,000 Immigration-Fraud Cases Investigated: DHS Official”
“As additional investigators surge to fraud-plagued Minnesota, federal agents have already arrested 500 illegal immigrants and probed 1,000 immigration-fraud cases during the past two months, a Homeland Security official estimated.”
Timmy doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
He can’t survive this.
RICO most commonly refers to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, a U.S. federal law passed in 1970 to fight organized crime by targeting criminal enterprises and patterns of illegal activity (like bribery, money laundering, etc.) through enhanced penalties and forfeiture of assets. It’s used against mobsters, but also white-collar criminals and corrupt officials.
Use it!
Looks like a Witch 🧹🧹🧹
Petty argument going after Minnesota that way when fraud anywhere should be considered organized crime and that’s the way it should be approached, a felony with a minimum 5 year prison terms.
My guess is low life scapegoats will get a slap on the wrist.
Those questions raises another question(s): How deep of a dive does it take to raise and blow the lid off of this barrel of BS and how prepared are they to put it into its proper place?
Look at this: convicted $66M fraud gets a slap on the wrist.

Great question! You don’t just get off the boat, and start writing grant proposals.
Follow the money.
Would you be surprised if it this is how Democrat candidate’s campaigns are funded?
“Would you be surprised if it this is how Democrat candidate’s campaigns are funded?”
No one would be surprised, I think it’s a given fact.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned C.A.I.R. involvement, besides me.
They got millions of our money, given to them by stupid us. They in turn bought politicians with names similar to Walz, Omar, Ellison, Frey, & Klobuchar, to set up and facilitate the next, greater level of fraud.
I’m betting those Learing Centers were very active, a couple months prior to election time. Filling out fake ballots is a tedious job.
Timmy recently held a press conference where he explained that white people are criminals as well.
Lol.
The Democrats new motto:
“Fraud is good.”
Someone is doing the teaching as a business.

He can't do that!! The Washington State AG might have him arrested... 😀
Politicians - the biggest organized crime cartel on Earth...
