US EditionNY Times story about identity theft case in Minnesota draws public debate and criticism from JD Vance
Dan Kluver, a Minnesota factory worker, faced $22,000 in wrongful debts and a lawsuit due to identity theft by an undocumented migrant over 15 years, reports say.
- Dan Kluver, a factory worker from Olivia, Minnesota, had his life quietly dismantled over 15 years, facing debt, tax audits, and a wrongful-death lawsuit after the undocumented migrant assumed his identity.
- Reporters say the migrant, described as a Guatemalan national deported three times, allegedly bought multiple IDs to work across industries, creating false employment records spanning Kansas, Tennessee, Ohio, Nebraska and Missouri.
- Kluver's wife paid $6,000 in erroneous fines, and related bills later swelled to $22,000 the next year.
- On Tuesday, critics seized on the Times' feature after Vice President JD Vance and Fox & Friends argued the article drew a 'moral equivalence' between victim and perpetrator.
- The Times portrayed the migrant's domestic struggles, describing afternoons spent 'doing puzzles with his four-year-old' while his family supported him, but Brian Kilmeade argued identity theft causes real harm.
