USCIS: Former Minnesota Corrections Officer Arrested in Operation Targeting Immigration Fraud
Jim Jordan urges DOJ to investigate alleged $9–$20 billion welfare fraud in Minnesota involving state officials and organizations amid ongoing federal probes and congressional hearings.
- Earlier this week, House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance urged the DOJ to investigate alleged welfare fraud in Minnesota, with reports of schemes totaling $9 billion to $20 billion in recent months.
- In recent months, independent and federal investigators found alleged schemes in Minnesota that could total $9 billion to $20 billion, with whistleblowers citing false autism claims and ineligible food assistance enrollments.
- Jordan pointed to actions by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and accused officials of aiding fraud, while Ellison denied meetings with fraudsters and said his office cooperated.
- The debate has immediate political effects, including Raskin claiming probes are targeted while Republicans increase scrutiny of Minnesota officials.
- Partisan framing followed, with some officials asking if welfare fraud extends beyond Minneapolis, as Republicans questioned whether investigations are appropriately scoped.
