The Department of Homeland Security has launched an immigration and fraud crackdown in Minneapolis amid a welfare-abuse scandal in Minnesota.
CBS and CNN reported that around 2,000 federal agents have been deployed in the Twin Cities area as part of a 30-day surge in operations.
On Tuesday, the department's official account wrote “GOOD MORNING MINNEAPOLIS!” – the first in a series of posts about operations in the region.
In a post on her own X account, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is pictured overseeing arrests, and promising to “expose and deliver accountability for the rampant fraud and criminality happening in Minnesota.”
The push comes amid new allegations of fraud by some day care centers run by Somali residents in Minnesota following claims by a right-wing influencer.
