FBI Storms 22 Minnesota Businesses in Welfare Fraud Probe, Ex-Viking Reacts

Federal agents raided 22 Minneapolis-based businesses as part of a sweeping welfare fraud investigation focused on Somali-owned childcare facilities accused of billing for care not provided; former Vikings captain Jack Brewer commented that the fraud preys on the poor and criticized local policing, while authorities said the operation is unrelated to immigration. The raids come amid Minnesota's long-running Medicaid fraud cases tied to the Feeding Our Future scandal, highlighting a broader national anti-fraud crackdown.
