Suspected fraudsters might be learning that crime doesn’t pay.
Federal agents on Tuesday converged on more than 20 locations suspected of milking taxpayer dollars in Minneapolis, according to numerous news reports.

According to CBS News, another site Shirley highlighted, The Mini Childcare Center in South Minneapolis, was swarmed by FBI agents about 6 a.m.
“One agent was taking photos while another was seen walking a large portable file case inside,” the network reported.
The raids largely targeted businesses owned by Somalis, according to Fox.
No arrests were made Tuesday, according to CBS, but the raids represent a significant development in the fraud scandal that’s enveloped Minnesota — and forced Democratic Gov. Tim Walz to abandon his plans to seek election to a third term.
And they drew national attention back to the North Star State.
According to CBS, 92 defendants have been charged in Minnesota fraud investigations since 2021, with 67 convictions.
