MINNEAPOLIS — The FBI raided the infamous ‘Quality Learing Center’ and more than 20 other businesses across Minnesota on Tuesday as part of a massive investigation into multi-billion dollar social services fraud.

The raids were focused on prominent businesses tied to the Somali-American community, sources told The Post.

“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 official told The Post.

Agents used a battering ram to enter at least one of the alleged day cares, Metro Learning Center, according to KTSP.

The targets included the Quality Learning Center — a Minneapolis day care that misspelled the word “Learning” in its signage and collected a staggering 95 violations from the state human services agency between 2019 and 2023, according to St. Paul’s ABC affiliate.

President Trump announced a “war on fraud” in his February State of the Union address and put Vice President JD Vance in charge of a task force leading the effort.

Minnesota Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Committee, called the raids “fantastic,” and said she hoped they would lead to accountability the state has been lacking “for years.”

She said she is confident that the 22 businesses being raided represent only the tip of the iceberg.

“Clearly if they found enough to execute raids against 22 … then there’s still a long way to go in this. We have dozens, probably closer to 100 childcare centers where their license capacity is much lower than their units they are being billed for, and that is a clear indicator of fraud,” she said.

“How on earth those are still allowed to have active licenses is stunning to us.”

The focus on fraud in Minnesota has largely been pandemic-era food programs and autism support services that fleeced taxpayers.

The Justice Department since September has indicted seven alleged fraudsters who allegedly recruited members of the Somali community to enroll children in fake autism services, raking in $14 million. One defendant has pleaded guilty.

At least 65 people have been charged criminally with the separate Feeding Our Future scam, which allegedly ripped off taxpayers to the tune of $250 million. Many have pleaded guilty in the sprawling case, which the DOJ began prosecuting in the Biden administration.

The Trump administration estimates fraud in Minnesota alone at $19 billion, with dozens charged criminally.

Democratic Gov. Tim Walz expressed regrets during a recent congressional hearing for not doing more to guard against fraud and noted that he had accepted responsibility by ending his bid for a third term this past January.

In an X post Tuesday morning, he voiced support for efforts to find and root out fraudsters, despite previously dismissing the investigation as “white supremacy.”

“If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught — and that’s exactly what we saw today. We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information. Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it,” he wrote in a stunning about-face.

The statement was an about-face for the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee. He previously suggested that fraud investigations targeting businesses that are mostly run by the Somali immigrant community were “scapegoating” and the result of “white supremacy.”

Walz said Tuesday that the raids were carried out with the support of local law enforcement — a departure from the mass immigration raids that took place across Minnesota earlier this year.

Those operations, carried out against the protests of state and local leaders, drew widespread backlash — which increased after federal agents killed two Minnesotans.

Despite the outgoing governor’s declaration of support for the raids, however, the City of Minneapolis’ official X account made a post minutes earlier that appears to contradict Walz.

“The City of Minneapolis is not involved in the federal operations being reported around Minnesota today, and as of 9:30 a.m., MPD has not been asked to assist with the execution of federal warrants,” the statement read.

Walz’s Johnny-come-lately tough talk about cracking down on the fraud drew the ire of the heads of federal agencies carrying out the raids, who wasted no time taking the failed 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate out to the woodshed.

“Come again? This FBI and DOJ with our DHS partners drafted and executed every search warrant today. But go ahead and take credit for our work while we smoke out the fraud plaguing Minnesota under your governorship,” Patel wrote derisively on X.

Newly appointed DHS chief Markwayne Mullin also took a shot at Walz in a scathing X post of his own.

“You have *zero* credibility on this issue,” he wrote.

“@GovTimWalz, you have willingly ignored and downplayed the rampant fraud and abuse in Minnesota. This crackdown on fraud has come thanks to the leadership of President Trump. We will hold those who steal from Americans accountable.”

Attention was first brought to allegations of fraud at day care facilities in Minneapolis last December, when YouTuber Nick Shirley knocked on doors of several buildings claiming to be taking care of children only to find them empty.

The Post did its own probe days later, visiting several of the same sites to confirm Shirley’s reporting, including the “Learing Center,” where a scribe was met with an icy reception by an apparent employee.

“Don’t f–king come to this area. Get the f–k out of here,” the employee said angrily while filming the Post reporter with his phone.

The day The Post was in town, the center was bustling with children and the parking lot was jammed, but neighbors said that sight was “highly unusual.”

One person said they’d never seen kids go inside the building before that day.

“The parking lot is empty all the time, I was under the impression that place is permanently closed,” the neighbor observed.

According to the head of the state’s child services department, Tikki Brown, the center had closed

Ibrahim Ali, the son of the owner who said he was the manager, claimed to The Post on Monday that Shirley’s visit came before they opened for the day.

“Do you go to a coffee shop at 11 p.m. and say, ‘Hey, they’re not working’?” Ali argued to The Post.

He also blamed a graphic designer for the now-infamous typo on the site’s sign.

“What I understand is [the owners] dealt with a graphic designer. He did it incorrectly. I guess they didn’t think it was a big issue,” said Ali, 26, who claimed he helps out with homework and paperwork at the facility.

“That’s gonna be fixed,” he said of the sign.

The sign was indeed fixed within days, and a week later the center was permanently shuttered, according to state records..
