Somali-run daycare suffers break-in of vital docs

Fox News correspondent Garrett Tenney reports the latest on the break-in. Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., also discusses the alleged fraud in Minnesota and how lawmakers are responding on ‘Fox News Live.’

Republicans are demanding accountability over the Minnesota fraud scandal, accusing state Democrats of failing to prevent billions of dollars in taxpayer funds from being stolen. A Florida lawmaker is now calling for aggressive federal action, comparing the alleged fraud to "organized crime."

"This is what the mafia does. They steal, they lie, they cheat," Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., said on "Fox News Live" Thursday.

"The federal government has to use the full powers that we used to destroy the mafia back in the 1960s. Nothing short of it," he added.

Rep. Mike Haridopolos leaves a meeting of the House Republican Conference at the Capitol Hill Club on June 10, 2025.
