Federal agents have raided over 20 businesses in Minneapolis that reportedly have Somali connections, including a learning center that came under fire earlier this year after accusations of fraud.
Homeland Security Investigations confirmed that their agents were involved in the raid alongside state and local law enforcement partners across Minneapolis and St Paul.
'Today, the FBI with federal, state and local law enforcement is involved in court-authorized law enforcement activity as part of an ongoing fraud investigation,' a Justice Department spokesperson added in a statement to multiple news outlets.
Sources told Fox News that around 22 businesses were raided, including the Quality Learning Center, which went viral for a misspelled sign amid allegations of fraud among Somali-owned daycares in the area.
