Months after Operation Metro Surge, federal agents return to Minneapolis to target daycares for suspected fraud
Agents executed 22 court-approved warrants as investigators probe alleged misuse of taxpayer-funded social programs and Medicaid payments.
- On Tuesday, the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations executed 22 court-authorized search warrants at Somali-owned businesses and childcare centers across the Twin Cities as part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation, with no arrests reported.
- A viral video by YouTuber Nick Shirley in December highlighted alleged "ghost" operations at the "Quality Learning Center," amplified by Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, and Pam Bondi, driving national scrutiny of Minnesota daycare fraud.
- Since 2021, authorities have charged 92 people with 67 convictions; federal officials allege fraud could exceed $9 billion, though state officials dispute this, citing prosecuted cases totaling only in the hundreds of millions.
- President Trump criticized Minnesota's Somali community, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ended his reelection campaign on January 5, appointing a "fraud czar" to protect taxpayer-funded social programs.
- Unlike last winter's Operation Metro Surge, which involved more than 2,000 federal agents and fierce clashes, Tuesday's raids reported no arrests, signaling a distinct shift in federal enforcement tactics.
