Minnesota human services employees question Gov. Walz’s oversight in connection with fraud concerns

Employees blame Gov. Walz for systemic oversight failures enabling over $1 billion fraud in social service programs, amid ongoing federal prosecutions charging dozens.

  • An X account claiming nearly 500 Minnesota Department of Human Services employees said Gov. Tim Walz created systemic failures and retaliated against whistleblowers on Saturday.
  • The Justice Department announced last week that federal prosecutors charged dozens linked to Feeding Our Future, a Minneapolis nonprofit, in a scheme involving more than $250 million and over 50 convictions.
  • Investigators found the child-meals program partnered with Feeding Our Future grew far beyond its initial $2.6 million projection from 2020, as many meals were nonexistent and funds diverted to luxury purchases and overseas projects.
  • Walz froze 14 Medicaid services during a fraud probe and created a state fraud task force with AI plans, while Minnesota voters watch his 2026 third-term campaign amid political risks.
  • The scandal has broader consequences for Minnesota's Somali community, harming about 80,000 Somali Americans and drawing President Donald Trump and national media attention with fraud estimates from $300 million to over $10 billion.
