The U.S. Department of Labor has deployed a specialized “strike team” to Minnesota to see whether fraudsters stole from the Unemployment Insurance Program, amid the accusations of widespread fraud in the state.

The Labor Department “noted concerns that recent reports of fraud, waste, and abuse might compromise the integrity of [the Unemployment Insurance] program,” a news release from the department said.
