Federal agents again target Minnesota amid alleged fraud crackdown at daycares
Federal agents conducted raids across Minnesota's Twin Cities on 28 April 2026, executing 22 search warrants targeting alleged fraud at daycare and Medicare providers, according to the Justice Department. The operation, part of a broader fraud crackdown led by the Trump administration, is distinct from prior immigration enforcement actions. Tensions persist between federal authorities and Minnesota officials, following earlier controversies over immigration raids and a freeze on childcare funding. The investigation into fraud, which began under the Biden administration, has already led to over 60 convictions.
