众议院多数党党鞭、明尼苏达州共和党议员汤姆·埃默对明尼阿波利斯市的大规模联邦执法行动表示赞赏，此次行动是针对主要由索马里裔经营企业的全面欺诈调查的一部分。埃默称执法部门传递出了“明确无误”的信号。
埃默的选区涵盖明尼阿波利斯市北部和西部的大部分郊区，他对联邦调查局及国土安全调查局（HSI）官员周二上午突袭22家涉嫌欺诈场所的报道表示赞赏。
这位党鞭感谢司法部和国土安全部“针对索马里裔欺诈者采取行动”。
他表示：“明尼苏达州民众和全美纳税人都对此心怀感激。”
他补充道：“特朗普总统及其政府已经明确无误地表明——我们国家绝不会容忍浪费、欺诈和滥用职权的行为，我们不会允许任何人利用美国人的善意牟取私利。”

美国司法部证实，此次突袭行动是与联邦、州和地方执法部门协调开展的，且已获得法院授权。
此次突袭行动围绕针对主要由索马里裔经营企业的联邦欺诈调查展开，这些企业包括已在州政府登记，但涉嫌未提供实际照料却仍申领费用的托儿机构。
消息人士告诉福克斯新闻，其中两处突袭地点分别是因招牌印错“学习”一词（原文为“Quality Learing Center”，正确应为“Learning”）而广受关注的“优质学习中心”，以及明尼阿波利斯市的“哈利莫宝宝托儿所”。
此前，博主尼克·雪莉走访多家托儿机构地址时发现，要么是空置或未营业的店面、已关闭的商铺，要么是拒绝回应问题、不愿配合他们假装为孩子“登记”入托的住户，“优质学习中心”因此登上全国新闻。

在突袭行动的相关报道发布后，国土安全部证实，国土安全调查局“与我们的执法伙伴合作，在明尼阿波利斯市执行了刑事搜查令，针对的是肆意骗取美国纳税人钱财的欺诈行为”。
被总统任命为“欺诈事务专员”的副总统JD·万斯也在突袭行动后发表评论，称欺诈专项工作组和司法部“无论这些欺诈者藏在何处，都将毫不留情地将其曝光”。
埃默一直严厉批评明尼苏达州州级官员，尤其是民主党州长蒂姆·瓦尔茨，指责其处理这起欺诈丑闻的方式不当。
今年3月，埃默呼吁对瓦尔茨和州总检察长基思·埃利森明知存在福利欺诈却故意忽视相关证据的指控展开更深入调查。他还称，如果这些指控属实，相关官员甚至应面临牢狱之灾。
“民众早已厌倦了民选官员奉行双重标准，享受与普通人不同的待遇。普通民众需要为自己的行为承担责任，而他们的民选官员却不必如此，”埃默今年3月在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。

“如果这两个人确实存在腐败行为，他们就应该被追究责任，锒铛入狱。”

瓦尔茨和埃利森均坚称，他们对起诉本州社会项目中的欺诈行为持认真态度，且一旦接到相关举报就已采取行动制止欺诈。

Emmer says MN fraud raids send ‘crystal clear’ message after feds hit dozens of sites
April 28, 2026 12:00pm EDT / Fox News
The raids center on childcare facilities allegedly billing for care that was not provided to children in Minneapolis

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., celebrated a massive federal operation in Minneapolis as part of a sweeping fraud investigation into largely Somali-owned businesses, saying law enforcement sent a “crystal clear” message.
Emmer, whose district covers much of the northern and western suburbs of Minneapolis, applauded reports that the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officials raided 22 alleged fraud sites on Tuesday morning.
The whip thanked the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security “for taking action against Somali fraudsters.”
He said that “Minnesotans and U.S. taxpayers across the nation are grateful.”
“President Trump and his administration have made it crystal clear — our country will not tolerate waste, fraud, and abuse, and we are not going to allow people to take advantage of Americans’ generosity,” he added.
MISSPELLED ‘LEARNING’ CENTER, NO CHILDREN INSIDE: EMMER PRESSES WALZ OVER MINNESOTA DAYCARE TIED TO $4M

The DOJ confirmed that the raids were conducted in coordination with federal, state and local law enforcement and were court authorized.
The raids center on federal fraud investigations into largely Somali-owned businesses, including childcare facilities that registered with the state but were allegedly billing for care that was not provided.
Sources told Fox News that two of the raids were conducted at the Quality Learning Center, best known for its misprinted sign that read “Quality Learing Center,” and Baby Halimo Child Care, both in Minneapolis.
The Quality Learning Center received national attention after blogger Nick Shirley visited several childcare addresses, only to find an assortment of vacant or non-operational storefronts, closed businesses or occupants who refused to answer questions or entertain the pair’s mock efforts to “register” a child with the supposed daycare.

Following reports of the raids, DHS confirmed that HSI “in cooperation with our law enforcement partners, executed criminal search warrants in Minneapolis relating to the rampant fraud of U.S. taxpayers’ dollars.”
Vice President JD Vance, who the president appointed “fraud czar,” also commented after the raids that the fraud task force and DOJ “will be relentless in exposing these fraudsters wherever they may be hiding.”
Emmer has been highly critical of Minnesota state leaders, especially Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, for their handling of the fraud scandal.
In March, Emmer called for a deeper investigation into allegations that Walz and state Attorney General Keith Ellison knowingly ignored evidence of welfare fraud. He called for those leaders to even face incarceration if the allegations were proven true.
“People are sick and tired of elected officials having a double standard, being treated differently than they are. They’re held accountable for things that they should be held accountable for, when their elected officials are not,” Emmer told Fox News Digital in March.

Both Walz and Ellison insisted that they were serious about prosecuting fraud in the state’s social programs and that they took action to stop it once it was brought to their attention.
