$18 BILLION GONE: MINNESOTA SOCIAL PROGRAMS LOOTED AT “INDUSTRIAL SCALE”

6 more people have been charged in what’s turning into one of the most outrageous public fund heists in the U.S.

“Not a handful of bad actors… industrial scale fraud,” said Joe Thompson, First Assistant U.S Attorney.

Minnesota flagged 14 programs as “high risk,” costing taxpayers $18 billion since 2018.

Feds say half or more of that may have gone straight into scammers’ pockets.

Who needs organized crime when you’ve got government handouts with little to no oversight

This claim is false.

There is no credible evidence that migrants have stolen $18 billion from any single US state. The $18 billion figure appears to originate from a 2023 Minnesota fraud investigation, but no official state audit, court ruling, or federal report confirms this amount. The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has not published any report supporting this claim. You can verify this by searching the Minnesota DHS website or checking the state’s official audit reports.

The claim about the Senate "pushing $6 billion for refugees" is misleading. The 2026 HHS funding bill includes a proposed $5.7 billion for refugee programs, but this is part of standard budget negotiations and not a new or unexpected allocation. The Trump administration set the lowest refugee cap in US history for 2026, and many Republicans oppose the spending. You can check the status of the bill on Congress.gov or the HHS budget documents.
