🚨WATCH: 'What we found was deeply concerning' Scott Dexter, a former Minnesota Department of Human Services investigator, testified to Congress that he spent nearly three decades conducting criminal and financial fraud investigations, including in the state’s Child Care Assistance Program before political pressure and bureaucratic hurdles brought meaningful investigations to a halt. After joining DHS in 2013 as part of a newly formed fraud unit, Dexter said his team focused on data-driven cases. “Our cases were not selected based on the name of the center, the owner, or the community it served,” Dexter told lawmakers. “They were selected based solely on tips, complaints, and the amount of CCAP funding being paid out.” Dexter said that what investigators found raised serious red flags. “Many of these centers operated out of commercial spaces with windows totally covered, no visible play areas, and very few children ever present,” Dexter said. He said investigators documented “patterns of overbilling, nonexistent attendance, and in some cases, children being signed in for hours they were never actually at the center.” "As our investigations progressed, we noticed a trend: many of the centers receiving the highest levels of CCAP funding were owned and operated by Somali individuals, and the families served were predominantly Somali. This was not the basis for selecting cases, but it did become the basis for accusations against us," he said. Despite mounting evidence, Dexter said oversight tightened — not on fraudsters, but on investigators. “We were labeled as racially biased,” he testified. Eventually, Dexter said, investigations became nearly impossible. "An outside review was launched into our investigative practices. We were questioned about how we selected centers and how we conducted surveillance. Following that review, new restrictions were placed on our work," he said. “In 2019, I chose to retire because the investigative process had become so constrained that meaningful work was no longer possible.”

Thanks to Central Connecticut State University for posting this video. I also want to thank the university for allowing my family and I to be the Founding Donors and help create the John Lewis Institute for Social Justice several years ago. I'm genuinely grateful for the platform that Central Connecticut State University gave us to serve students & faculty in the CCSU community in this unique way. The JLI Scholar spring break trip to Montgomery included visiting the Equal Justice Initiative Justice Initiative Legacy Sites, historic Montgomery Greyhound Bus Terminal & the Freedom Riders Museum ( and the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church where Martin Luther King Jr. began his first full-time pastorship in 1954. The EJI Legacy Sites include a museum, memorial, and monument. I visit my friend Bryan Stevenson (#JustMercy) and The Legacy Museum at least once a year. The museum is one of the most powerful, comprehensive experiences I have ever seen, by using video, artwork, holograms and other technology. The art of Molly Crabapple🇵🇷 still takes my breath away ( The JLI Scholars also traveled to #Selma for the Edmund Pettus Bridge, Brown Chapel AME Church and finally Birmingham to visit the 16th St Baptist Church and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute CCSU is over 46% First-Gen students - many with limited resources to travel like I was in college. This trip was a first of its kind experience for eight students and three faculty. I can personally understand the gravity of the experience. I did not have the opportunity to visit Civil Rights sights many parts of the south until I was an adult. However, the impact it had on me has been lifelong and it continues. I visit those sights and others EVERY year. Retrospectively, I still believe it wasn't a mistake that my/our commencement speaker at CCSU in 1988 was NAACP Executive Director Benjamin Hooks A tremendous 'thank you' to Beth Merenstein, Dr. Evelyn Newman Phillips and Dr. Audra King for their commitment to the JLI of Social Justice and for making the students trip/experience so special If the spirit moves you, please consider contributing to this amazing program at Central Connecticut State University: #goodtrouble #JohnLewis #MLK Birmingham Civil Rights Institute Central Connecticut State Universityfootball Central Connecticut State UniversityBlueDevils Central Connecticut State University_Fanatics RISE
