Fraud allegations in Minnesota are drawing national attention, putting Gov. Tim Walz under scrutiny as he campaigns for a third term.

At the start of 2026, Minnesotans will be able to take up to 12 weeks of leave with partial pay either to recover from a serious medical condition or to care for a family member, for a combined maximum of 20 weeks.

Hope Walz, 24, launched into the tirade as she claimed trolls were targeting her younger brother Gus with the insults in the wake of Trump criticizing Walz for his handling of the Somali food aid

"Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was warned about massive fraud in a pandemic food-aid program for children, yet he failed to act," Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.

Gov. Tim Walz said he expects threats of National Guard use from the president. Reports say Trump has the Somali community in his sights.

The governor of Minnesota says the state is “exploring” how to respond to an impending federal ban on hemp THC products, which would be “very disruptive” to a “thriving industry.” And a top GOP congressional lawmaker from the state is also reviewing options to “support consumers and provide industry stability.

The Trump administration has opened a new front in its immigration crackdown, targeting illegal Somali immigrants in Minneapolis with a push of more than 100 ICE agents.
