Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says federal agents are in Minneapolis this week investigating suspected fraud in child care and other social services.

The action follows years of work tied to the Feeding Our Future case, a major COVID-era fraud prosecution.

Tiki Brown is commissioner for the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families.

State officials, including Governor Tim Walz, say they're cooperating with federal investigators.
