The FBI has surged additional personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to combat large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs, according to FBI Director Kash Patel. The focus includes the Feeding Our Future investigation, which uncovered a $250 million scheme that diverted federal food aid intended for children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patel stated this is "just the tip of a very large iceberg" and the investigation remains ongoing, with ongoing efforts to dismantle such operations and protect vulnerable children.
