A Senate probe into $9B in fraud linked to Somali immigrants in Minnesota raises concerns over accountability and bias in federal enforcement.

A Senate Homeland Security investigation led by Chairman Rand Paul is examining cash movements tied to Somali immigrants in Minnesota amid a $9 billion social services fraud scandal that has resulted in federal charges against over 80 individuals. The probe highlights growing national concern over whether political backlash deters elected leaders from pursuing fraud cases, especially those involving minority communities. The controversy has sparked debate over accountability, immigration, and government transparency, with protests and federal enforcement actions intensifying in recent weeks.
