WATCH: Minnesota DHS Used DEI Hiring Policies in Offices Responsible for Fraud Oversight
In the latest episode of The Patriot Perspective, host Gregory Lyakhov examined what may be one of the most staggering government failures in modern American history: more than $9 billion in fraud tied to Minnesota’s public programs, much of it involving networks operating within the state’s Somali community. 
The number alone is shocking. 
Yet what matters more than assigning vague political blame is understanding how such an enormous collapse occurred—and why it was entirely predictable.
One point must be made clearly at the outset. Whether Minnesota’s governor or individual politicians were directly complicit remains unclear. 
Proving intent or personal involvement requires evidence that investigators are still uncovering. But the absence of proven complicity does not mean the absence of responsibility. 
What is clear is that Minnesota built a system structurally incapable of preventing fraud, and that system was shaped by aggressive DEI hiring and governance policies.
For years, Minnesota’s Health and Human Services division—the very agency responsible for detecting and preventing fraud—prioritized DEI “health equity” and hiring initiatives over core oversight functions. 
Entire offices were reshaped around racial and identity-based frameworks rather than technical competence, auditing experience, or enforcement capacity. 
The result was not inclusion; it was institutional blindness.
Fraud prevention is not dependent on race. Rather, it is technical, adversarial, and uncomfortable. 
It requires skepticism, data analysis, documentation checks, and the willingness to say no—even when doing so risks political backlash. 
DEI frameworks actively undermine those requirements by reframing enforcement as discrimination and scrutiny as bias. 
When oversight staff are selected and evaluated based on ideological alignment rather than skill, accountability collapses.
The largest fraud schemes in Minnesota history were not hidden. They operated openly, year after year, while red flags were ignored and whistleblowers were dismissed. 
Billions flowed out the door because the institutions designed to stop fraud had been repurposed to avoid “harm” instead of preventing crime.
This scandal also raises a broader issue rarely addressed honestly: immigration policy. 
Lyakhov argued that banning all immigration is neither realistic nor desirable. 
The United States has a birth rate of roughly 1.7, well below the 2.1 replacement rate. Legal immigration is necessary to sustain economic growth and demographic stability.
But immigration policy must be selective and merit-based. Importing large populations from regions with weak governance, low institutional trust, and limited integration incentives—while simultaneously stripping enforcement mechanisms at home—is a recipe for disaster. 
Immigration should strengthen society, not overwhelm its systems.
Minnesota’s fraud crisis should be treated as a warning to all of America. 
When ideology replaces competence, when DEI replaces accountability, and when enforcement is treated as oppression, fraud becomes inevitable.

Minnesota’s sprawling welfare–industrial complex is once again under the microscope after a stunning investigation by NewsNation revealed that so-called “assisted living” facilities funded with millions in taxpayer dollars are, in reality, nothing more than ordinary single-family homes.
According to reporting from Rich McHugh, Minnesota continues to shovel millions of Medicaid dollars to properties owned by a man already indicted in the state’s massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, despite overwhelming red flags and a growing list of exploited public programs.
The properties are owned by Gandi Mohamed, also known as Gandi Abdi Kediye, who was indicted in February 2024 on money laundering charges tied to the Feeding Our Future case. Prosecutors allege Mohamed helped launder approximately $1 million in fraudulent funds.
According to the DOJ:
Gandi Yusuf Mohamed, 43, Ikram Mohamed’s brother, was the owner of GAK Properties LLC and GIF Properties LLC, companies used to receive and launder the proceeds of the fraud scheme. Gandi Mohamed also submitted fraudulent meal counts and claims on behalf of his family’s companies. As alleged, between March 2021 and July 2022, Gandi Mohamed fraudulently received and laundered more than $1.1 million in Federal Child Nutrition Program funds. Gandi Mohamed is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and money laundering.
Yet while awaiting trial, Mohamed’s limited liability company continues to benefit handsomely from the state.
His wife reportedly operates multiple “assisted living” facilities out of residential homes in the Minneapolis area.
Those facilities alone received more than $2.3 million in state payments last year.
Even more staggering: since 2016, Mohamed has been paid $49 million by the state’s Minnesota Department of Human Services, according to the Minnesota Reformer.
NewsNation visited three of the locations tied to Mohamed’s LLC. Each one appeared to be a standard single-family residence—not a medical or assisted living facility.
Staff at the homes claimed ignorance of Mohamed’s indictment and declined to explain how such operations qualified for massive Medicaid reimbursements.

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria was appointed by former President Barack Obama, who nominated him in 2014 to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
In a major victory for border enforcement and the rule of law, a federal judge has cleared the way for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to use Medicaid data to locate and deport illegal aliens, rejecting a coordinated legal assault by Democrat-run states attempting to shield unlawful migrants from federal authorities.
On December 29, U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria of the Northern District of California, appointed by Barack Obama, denied blue states’ attempt to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using Medicaid data to identify and deport illegal aliens, delivering a significant win for federal immigration enforcement and a sharp rebuke to sanctuary-state lawfare
A coalition of deep-blue states—including California, New York, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, and others—filed suit to stop the Trump administration from accessing Medicaid records, claiming the move violated privacy laws and administrative procedures.
In his ruling, Judge Chhabria made clear that federal law explicitly authorizes DHS to obtain identifying information from other federal agencies to carry out immigration enforcement.
The court found that ICE is lawfully entitled to receive basic biographical and contact information:

Citizenship and immigration status
Address and phone number
Date of birth
Medicaid identification number

The court cited longstanding federal statutes requiring agencies to make information about the identity and location of illegal aliens available to DHS upon request, rejecting the states’ argument that HHS could simply refuse to comply.
The plaintiff also argued that federal privacy laws—including HIPAA, the Affordable Care Act, and the Privacy Act—barred the data-sharing arrangement.
Again, the court shut them down.
Judge Chhabria ruled that privacy laws expressly allow disclosures for law enforcement purposes, including immigration enforcement, and that the Medicaid data at issue does not fall under the ACA’s exchange-data restrictions.
The court further noted that the Privacy Act does not even apply to illegal aliens in the first place.
While the judge temporarily restricted ICE from accessing any non-basic or vaguely defined data—such as sensitive medical records or information about U.S. citizens in mixed-status households—he left the heart of the policy fully intact.
ICE is still free to use Medicaid data containing basic identifying and location information to find illegal aliens and enforce immigration law while the case continues.
That is precisely the data ICE needs to locate individuals who are unlawfully present in the country and already known to be receiving taxpayer-funded benefits.
Earlier this year, a federal judge appointed by Trump in Washington, D.C., denied a motion by far-left immigrant advocacy groups seeking to block the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from sharing taxpayer information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for the purpose of locating and removing illegal immigrants.
Judge Dabney L. Friedrich, appointed by President Trump, ruled that the IRS is legally authorized under federal statute to provide taxpayer address information to ICE if it is connected to criminal immigration investigations.
The case, Centro de Trabajadores Unidos et al. v. Scott Bessent et al., was filed by several immigration activist organizations, including “Immigrant Solidarity DuPage” and “Somos Un Pueblo Unido,” who argued that the IRS’s data-sharing plan with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was illegal, arbitrary, and violated immigrants’ trust.
But Judge Friedrich was unswayed, pointing directly to Section 6103(i)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, which explicitly allows federal agencies to request and receive tax return information—such as names and addresses—for criminal investigations.

On the heels of the biggest fraud scandal in recent memory in Minnesota, Governor Tim Walz has signed legislation which will allow illegal aliens to cash out paid work leave.
It is almost too insane to believe, but that just means it is another day of Democrat politics.
The Gateway Pundit reported,

In a move that’s sure to infuriate hardworking American taxpayers, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s radical socialist agenda has kicked into high gear today with the rollout of his so-called “Paid Family and Medical Leave” program.
Under the new law signed by Walz, employees in Minnesota will be eligible for up to 12 weeks of medical leave and 12 weeks of family leave — up to 20 weeks total per year — with partial wage replacement paid out of a state-mandated payroll tax on employers and employees.
But the detail sparking the most outrage isn’t just the length of the leave—it’s who is eligible to collect the check.
If a worker meets the minimum earning threshold of approximately $3,900 in the past year and has paid into the system through payroll taxes, they are eligible to apply for state-funded wage replacement.
No Social Security number? No problem! No proof of citizenship? Who cares!  Walz and his leftist cronies have made sure that anyone, including those who snuck across our southern border, can now access taxpayer-backed paid leave benefits to bond with a new child or recover from an illness for nearly five months of the year.

No doubt Democrats will lie and say that this program won’t benefit illegals, but does Minnesota have a great track record of preventing fraud?
Taxpayers in the state will now be paying for illegal aliens to stay at home and do nothing for up to 20-weeks per year.
