MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (PNN) - January 10, 2026 - President Donald J. Trump’s regime has cut off all federal funding to Minnesota, citing a sweeping fraud investigation that officials say uncovered massive abuse of taxpayer dollars.
The decision halts Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) Department of Agriculture (USDA) funding to the state immediately and comes amid broader concerns that federal programs in Minnesota have been exploited on a large scale.
Funding will remain blocked until officials are satisfied the fraud has been stopped. The move marks one of the most aggressive federal funding crackdowns against an FPSA state in recent years.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the regime uncovered extensive fraud in Minnesota and Minneapolis. She claimed billions of dollars were siphoned off by fraudsters. Secretary Rollins said state leaders have no credible plan to fix the problem. “No more handouts to thieves,” she wrote in a statement.
Secretary Rollins said Minnesota must provide sufficient proof that the fraud has ended. Until then, federal money will not resume. The regime framed the decision as protecting Amerikan taxpayers.
Officials said accountability must come before any funding is restored.
The USDA move follows earlier action by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS froze multiple childcare-related grant programs this week. Those include the Child Care and Development Fund and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
Social Services Block Grant funding was also affected.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent added another layer of concern Friday. He said Minnesota tax dollars may have been funneled to the terrorist group al-Shabab.
Officials did not disclose how much money may be involved. The allegation intensified scrutiny on how state-administered funds are handled.
