"What we're doing is we are stopping the federal payments that will go to the state government until the state government takes its obligations seriously to stop the fraud that's being perpetrated against the American taxpayer. Vance said the action was to ensure Minnesota was a good steward of the American people's tax money, part of its crackdown on the state following a fraud scandal linked to residents of the Somali community in Minneapolis."
"Vance announced on Wednesday that the Trump administration would temporarily halt more than a quarter-billion dollars in Medicaid reimbursements to the state of Minnesota, escalating Donald Trump's newly announced war on fraud. The action followed a fraud scandal linked to residents of the Somali community in Minneapolis, which prompted the administration to send thousands of federal immigration agents into Minneapolis."
Vice President J.D. Vance announced a temporary halt of more than $250 million in Medicaid reimbursements to Minnesota as part of the Trump administration's crackdown on fraud. The action followed a fraud scandal involving residents of the Somali community in Minneapolis. Vance stated the measure was necessary to ensure Minnesota acted as a good steward of taxpayer funds. The administration previously sent thousands of federal immigration agents to Minneapolis, resulting in deaths of U.S. citizens and widespread protests. The halt represents escalation in the administration's announced war on fraud and follows Minnesota's resistance to federal immigration enforcement actions.
