The Department of Health and Human Services announced Tuesday that it is halting all funding for child care to Minnesota as federal investigations into alleged systemwide fraud continue to grow this week.

“We have frozen all child care payments to the state of Minnesota,” HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill <a href="https://x.com/HHS_Jim/status/2006122674737877499?s=20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wrote</a> on X. “We have turned off the money spigot and we are finding the fraud.”

The department has also taken action to fight fraud, which O’Neil said appears to be rampant in Minnesota and across the country.

O’Neill said he believes the state has allowed scammers and fake day care centers to siphon millions of taxpayer dollars over the past decade.

Health and Human Services provides Minnesota with $185 million in child care funding each year, according to Assistant Secretary Alex Adams, who oversees the program.

“That money should be helping 19,000 American children including toddlers and infants,” Adams said in a <a href="https://x.com/HHS_Jim/status/2006136004294664464?s=20">video</a> posted on X Tuesday. “Any dollar stolen by fraudsters is stolen from those children.”

Adams said he spoke directly with Minnesota’s director of child care services about the alleged fraud. “She couldn’t tell me with confidence whether those allegations of fraud are isolated or whether there was fraud stretching statewide,” he said.

Beginning Tuesday, the department will require photo evidence before sending any Administration for Children and Families funds to any state.

O’Neill also sent a letter requesting Minnesota’s Gov. Tim Walz conduct a comprehensive audit of the child care centers involved in the alleged fraud, including investigating attendance records, licenses, complaints, investigations, and inspections.

The department has also launched a dedicated fraud reporting hotline and email address at childcare.gov for parents, providers, or the public.

“Anyone who is involved in perpetrating this fraud against the American people should expect to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” O’Neill said.

Federal agents surged into the state Monday for a massive <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ice-targeting-massive-suspected-fraud-in-minnesota-5963848">investigation</a> into alleged fraudulent activity in child care operations, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Agents were going door to door at suspected fraud sites, the agency reported.

Federal authorities estimate about $9 billion has been lost to fraudulent claims in the state’s federal-assistance programs.

Nearly 100 people have been <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-has-charged-nearly-100-people-in-minnesota-fraud-scandal-85-of-somali-descent-5964021" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">charged</a> since 2022 in connection with day care fraud in Minnesota, and 85 of them were of Somali descent, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.

She highlighted in an X <a href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/2005764911427731459?s=20">post</a> some of the most serious scandals her office has prosecuted, including a federally-funded child nutrition program called Feeding Our Future that claimed to have provided millions of meals for children.

“Few, if any, were fed,” Bondi said in her announcement.

Hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars were sent to East Africa and the Middle East, according to the attorney general. The scheme's leader was sentenced to 28 years in prison and ordered to pay nearly $48 million in restitution. Another defendant in the Feeding Our Future scam was sentenced to 10 years in prison and also ordered to pay nearly $48 million in restitution.

Additional defendants who were part of the same scheme tried bribing three jurors with bags of cash sent to each of their homes with a promise of more money if they acquit at trial.

Bondi praised independent journalist Nick Shirley for posting a video on X, with more than 120 million views, showing child care facilities appearing non-operational and alleging millions of taxpayer dollars were stolen over the past decade.

“[Shirley’s] work has helped show Americans the scale of fraud in Tim Walz’s Minnesota,” Bondi <a href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/2005764911427731459">said</a> on X.
