House Oversight Committee Probes Billions in Minnesota Social Services Fraud
Investigation targets misuse of billions in state and federal funds, including $240 million fraud in Feeding Our Future, with concerns about overseas routing and possible terrorist links.
- On October 21, 2025, Rep. James Comer , chairman, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, announced the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform opened a probe into Minnesota social service programs.
- A City Journal report and whistleblowers prompted the committee after Feeding Our Future charged nearly 80 suspects with defrauding the Federal Child Nutrition Program of over $240 million, and a U.S. attorney said fraud could exceed $1 billion.
- Comer cited allegations that some funds were routed overseas to Somalia, raising potential ties to Al-Shabaab, and referenced a report claiming some money was donated to Attorney General Keith Ellison's recent campaign.
- The committee requested documents, communications, and records from Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, giving them until Dec. 17 to respond, while Walz welcomed the probe but condemned targeting one community.
- Prosecutors estimate taxpayers have lost billions, raising concerns over misuse of funds as Minnesota's Somali community faces ICE scrutiny despite most being naturalized citizens.
