The Trump Administration isn't just talking about draining the swamp — they're actively hunting down the rats who've been feasting on taxpayer dollars for years while Tim Walz and his Democrat cronies looked the other way.
In what can only be described as a full-spectrum assault on fraud, the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, HHS, and at least five other federal agencies have descended on Minnesota to dismantle the massive criminal enterprises that flourished under Democrat "leadership." And the numbers are absolutely staggering.
The Scope of the Scandal
Thanks to explosive video evidence from investigative journalist Nick Shirley and dogged reporting by Alpha News, Americans finally saw what Minnesota's political class refused to acknowledge: a sprawling network of fraudulent operations bleeding taxpayers dry through fake daycares, bogus healthcare providers, and phantom social services.
Attorney General Pam Bondi's DOJ has already charged 98 defendants in Minnesota fraud cases — and here's the detail the mainstream media doesn't want you to focus on: 85 of those defendants are of Somali descent. That's not racism, folks. That's just math. Sixty-four have already been convicted.
The investigative effort is massive: over 1,750 subpoenas issued, more than 130 search warrants executed, and over 1,000 witness interviews conducted. One building prominently featured in Shirley's viral video? Thirteen defendants charged for fraud from that single location.
DHS Goes Door-to-Door
Secretary Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security isn't sitting behind desks in Washington. Hundreds of Homeland Security Investigations officers are on the ground in Minnesota right now, conducting door-to-door investigations of suspected fraud sites — with more agents on the way.
The results speak for themselves: over 1,000 criminal illegal aliens arrested in just the past few weeks. Operation Twin Shield identified more than 1,300 fraud findings based on site visits in Minneapolis and Saint Paul alone. DHS is now determining which cases require additional vetting, including potential denaturalization proceedings.
You read that right. People who obtained citizenship through fraud may lose it. Elections have consequences, and so does cheating the American people.
The Money Gets Cut Off
While investigations proceed, the Trump Administration is simultaneously turning off the spigot that's been funding these criminal operations. HHS has frozen childcare payments to Minnesota and now requires justification, receipts, or photo evidence for all childcare-related payments nationwide. They're also enforcing a long-ignored federal law demanding repayment of Medicaid benefits from the sponsors of immigrants who received them.
The Small Business Administration has halted all annual grant program payments to Minnesota and suspended 6,900 borrowers for approximately $400 million in suspected fraudulent activity. These criminals are now banned from all further loan programs and referred for prosecution.
HUD has dispatched investigators for public housing fraud. The Department of Labor is reviewing Minnesota's unemployment insurance program. The Department of Agriculture is demanding SNAP recipient recertification — a commonsense move that Minnesota's state officials are actually fighting in court. Let that sink in: Democrat officials are going to court to PREVENT verification that welfare recipients are actually eligible.
Years of Democrat Negligence
These criminal networks didn't spring up overnight. They were built systematically over years while Tim Walz — the same man Democrats thought should be a heartbeat away from the presidency — served as governor. The same Tim Walz who Kamala Harris chose as her running mate. The same Democrats who lecture Americans about "compassion" while allowing billions to be stolen from programs meant for the truly needy.
Where was the oversight? Where were the audits? Where was the basic due diligence that any competent administrator would demand?
It didn't exist — because Democrat governance prioritizes ideology over accountability, and anyone who raised concerns was likely dismissed as a bigot.
This Is What Real Leadership Looks Like
President Trump promised decisive action, and his administration is delivering with investigations, payment freezes, and prosecutions spanning multiple agencies. This is the kind of coordinated, aggressive response that Americans have been demanding for years.
The FBI is surging forensic accountants and data analytics teams while investigating potential links to elected officials and — pay attention here — terrorist financing. That's not speculation. That's an active FBI investigation.
Patriots, this is exactly why we fought so hard in 2024. This is government working for the people, hunting down those who steal from hardworking taxpayers, and holding criminals accountable regardless of which protected class they might belong to.
The question now isn't whether the Trump Administration will root out this fraud — they clearly will. The question is: how many other states have similar schemes operating right now under Democrat protection? And how long until those dominoes start falling too?
