Vice President JD Vance said that California’s fraud is worse than that of Minnesota. Vance said this on the wake of the discovery of approximately $7billion worth of fraud in California. Vance also mentioned the fact that anti ICE efforts have mainly been a blue-state issue, with no similarly scaled action in the red states. Vance visited Minneapolis in hopes of deescalating the situation and called for Minnesota officials to meet him halfway.<\/p>\n

From New York Post:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

“I think we have a fraud problem that is much worse than California than it is in Minnesota,” Vance said in an interview Thursday, noting the head of US Small Business Administration gave him the shocking news.<\/p>\n

“This is unfortunately a problem that is much bigger than Minnesota.”<\/p>\n

The vice president also said efforts to block immigration enforcement were a uniquely blue-state phenomenon, adding that some Democratic-led states are engaged in a “small-scale civil war” with the federal government over immigration.<\/p>\n

“You look at red states like Texas, but blue cities like Austin. You do not see this level of chaos over the enforcement of immigration laws,” he said.<\/p>\n

His remarks come as governors like California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom have stepped up their opposition ICE activity.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security launched a major fraud investigation in Minnesota targeting refugee applications, with officials reexamining thousands of cases and referring suspected violations to ICE.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has also paused federal child care funding to Minnesota, blaming alleged fraud in daycare programs, and has imposed new documentation requirements — including attendance records and receipts — before releasing payments to any state, CBS reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
