Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison spent a charged Senate hearing on February 12, 2026 defending his office as Republicans tore into failures around massive fraud and the chaotic fallout from federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. Senators demanded answers about Operation Metro Surge, the deaths connected to enforcement actions, and why state officials say they were left in the dark by federal authorities.
Senator Josh Hawley and other Republicans were blunt and relentless, arguing Ellison’s actions — and inaction — deserve criminal scrutiny and even calling for his resignation or indictment in open session. Those aren’t idle partisan jabs; they came after hearings where testimony painted a picture of huge financial losses and alleged cozy relationships between state actors and bad actors.
The Feeding Our Future scandal itself is a national outrage: hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars allegedly diverted from programs meant to feed children, with dozens charged and many already convicted. Working Americans who pay taxes deserve better than to have their money vanish into fraud schemes while politicians shrug and point fingers at each other.
Reporters and investigators have documented troubling ties between Ellison’s office and figures now implicated in the fraud, including campaign donations and meetings that demand explanation under oath. If those ties aided or sheltered criminals, there can be no neutrality or delay — accountability must come swiftly for the sake of every family cheated out of support they relied upon.
Conservative voices on the airwaves, like Carl Higbie, captured the American mood when they demanded action: arrest the people who steal our money and break our laws, and stop treating taxpayer theft as a political game. Patriots across this country see the politics, but they feel the theft in their grocery bills and school lunches — the response should be law enforcement, not performative outrage.
The appetite for real oversight is bipartisan in its seriousness; House Oversight has already scheduled a follow-up hearing for March 4, 2026 to question Governor Walz and AG Ellison under oath, and Washington must use every tool to get to the bottom of this. Americans will not accept vague promises and theatrical denials when hundreds of millions are missing and victims demand justice.
We should stand with the men and women who enforce the law and demand that prosecutors do their job impartially — that means investigating, indicting, and convicting where evidence leads, regardless of party. This is about protecting our communities, preserving trust in government, and making sure the next generation grows up in a country where stealing from the vulnerable carries a real price.
