Good article, thanks.

KARE 11 Investigates: Disabled Minnesotans abandoned amid social services fraud crisis
Caregivers disappeared, rent went unpaid, as investigators probe fraud in program to help disabled Minnesotans.
"Ultimate Home’s owner, Othman Mohamed, never responded to KARE 11’s interview requests. The company website was a skeleton, their address listed as 1 2 3 Main Street, Anytown, MN. They were actually headquartered in the back of a Bloomington strip mall, but no one was ever there when KARE 11 visited."

University of Minnesota professor, Sen. Ted Cruz argue during hearing about fraud in Washington, D.C.
A hearing in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday about fraud in Minnesota took a heated turn between University of Minnesota professor Eric Schwartz and Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

A hearing in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday about fraud in Minnesota took a heated turn between University of Minnesota professor Eric Schwartz and Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
"We are already seeing statistics that the net benefit of Somali presence in the United States far outweighs the cost," Schwartz said.
...
"The statistics about recent arrivals, using high percentages of welfare benefits, those statistics are not unusual, but what we find is over time those communities get off welfare and their children and their children's children, as we are seeing, become doctors, nurses, lawyers, professors," said Schwartz.
The fraud concerns are real. Dozens of Somali Americans have been convicted or charged in scandals like Feeding Our Future. But Schwartz says those represent just a small percentage of the population.
"The fraud is really important and has to be investigated and it has to be prosecuted, but the story in Minnesota, as most Minnesotans know, is a positive one," said Schwartz.

A Minnesota whistleblower says she has faced increased retaliation after reporting mistakes in state contracts.
(…)
She said the retaliation she's faced was sending "a very bad message" to other DHS employees to "toe the line."
Bernstein said she didn't agree with being considered a whistleblower.
"We all should be doing this," she said. "I think that’s what I earn my paycheck for. I think that’s what my coworkers do each day as well."

Trump Treasure official to exit after objecting to Minneapolis crackdown - Washington Post
A top Trump Treasury official is leaving his post after privately raising objections to White House-backed plans to crack down on alleged fraud within the Somali immigrant community in Minnesota, according to seven people familiar with the matter.
John Hurley, a donor to President Donald Trump who is serving as the undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, began telling associates in recent weeks that he was leaving his post. Hurley had recently conveyed his concerns to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about a project to enhance federal monitoring of international payments from the Minneapolis area, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
His departure underscores how some Trump allies in the federal government are uneasy with the extent of White House directives to deploy law enforcement tools against Minneapolis’s Somali community. Two of the people said he raised data privacy concerns over the plans in question.

The threats to Minnesota's Medicaid funds are unprecedented. Other states could be next - NPR
But lately, Lindbo has been nervous. She and her family live in Minnesota where hundreds of millions of dollars — and possibly billions — for the state's Medicaid program are in limbo as part of the Trump administration's crackdown on fraud. It came after federal prosecutors last year alleged that billions may have been stolen from Minnesota's Medicaid program over the years and charged a number of people with Medicaid fraud.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, who oversees the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has argued that widespread fraud has persisted for too long, hurting both taxpayers and those who rely most on the program.
"This is not a problem with the people of Minnesota. It's a problem with the leadership of Minnesota and other states who do not take Medicaid preservation seriously," he said at a press conference on Feb. 25.
But health care policy experts say the threats to Medicaid funding are unprecedented — going far beyond the typical steps to address fraud and at a scale that could disrupt services for patients.

I guess i don't understand your position. The threat to Minnesota medicaid funds is the result of the lost of billions of dollars of past funds. The Feds can't keep pumping that money in when the leak isn't plugged. Even Minnesota admits the fraud happened. The risk to other recipients that are struggling now should, and does, fall upon the State of Minnesota. They have funds to draw on, they can investigate to claw back those funds (if they have the political will). It is crazy to just assume the federal government will continue to funnel cash in those amounts into a place where we know fraud is rampant. Minnesota is going to be on the hook for billions to the federal government AND will in the meantime have to fund programs now in place out of state funds.The threats to Minnesota's Medicaid funds are unprecedented.
