The raids targeted childcare and daycare centers, as well as autism service providers, with five warrants served at centers connected to an autism therapy program under scrutiny, according to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's office. The Quality Learning Center and Mako Childcare Center, both featured in a viral video by content creator Nick Shirley, were among the sites searched.

Minnesota has faced fraud allegations involving Medicaid-funded and other social service programs for several years, with federal prosecutors describing billions of dollars stolen through claims for services never rendered. More than 60 people have been convicted in connection with these cases, many related to a pandemic-era food aid program called Feeding Our Future.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said the raids resulted from state agencies detecting irregular behavior and reporting it to law enforcement. "We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information. Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it," Walz wrote on X.

Taxpayer dollars were funneled into ghost daycares with no kids present, and this fraud festered under Tim Walz's watch. FBI and Homeland Security had to execute 22 search warrants across Minneapolis to address what state leadership failed to stop. When empty buildings collect public money for years, that's a government failure — not just a criminal one.

State agencies flagged the irregular behavior that triggered today's raids, proving the oversight system actually worked. Joint state and federal investigations are exactly how fraud gets exposed and prosecuted. Credit goes to the agencies that caught the irregularities and reported them — that's the system functioning as designed.
