A student at the University of Minnesota tells Alpha News she had to take part in what her professor called an "'ICE drill" during class. 

The student said it was meant to teach students how to respond if ICE ever came to the class—and how white students needed to use their bodies to "cover" and "shield" other students who may be likely targets of immigration enforcement.

The student, who initially did not want to be anonymous but did so to protect family and friends, said that as a future educator, “I would never ever instruct my own students to put their own safety on the line.” 

The university told Alpha News it is aware of the situation and conducting a thorough review.

In publicly telling his story for the first time, former GOP candidate Paul Wickstrom spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast about how his challenge to election fraud ultimately helped shine a light on all the other kinds of fraud in Minnesota.

Wickstrom explained how he was running against DFL opponent Curtis Johnson to represent District 40B in the Minnesota House. But something wasn't right. Johnson didn't actually live in the district, as required by state law. 

After investigating, Wickstrom challenged the election and Johnson was disqualified, which led to a special election. Wickstrom didn't win. But his investigation and challenge helped put a stop to the DFL and "their runaway spending,” he said. Wickstrom also explained how the focus on fraud at the legislature “all started with a challenge to election fraud.”

Iftin has also been outspoken about Somali fraud—and facing threats from the Somali community. He spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast about the consequences of telling the truth instead of taking sides.

Attorney Dr. David Feinwachs joined Liz Collin on her podcast. He is former general counsel of the Minnesota Hospital Association. He was fired for asking too many questions after four HMOs in Minnesota were making an extraordinary amount of money from the state Medicaid program. 

The federal government has put Minnesota on notice: fix the fraud or lose the federal funds. 

Dr. Feinwachs said a recent filing from the feds is a “bombshell” and could lead to severe consequences for Gov. Tim Walz and his administration.

Dr.  Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and Jim O'Neill, deputy secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), met with Liz Collin for an interview.  

Dr. Oz and Deputy Sec. O’Neill talked about what they saw when they visited daycare and autism centers in the Twin Cities for themselves.   

They told Collin that while checking out suspected fraud in St. Paul, within minutes they were chased out of buildings, flipped off, and followed by vehicles.  

While explaining how they’ve never seen anything like this, Dr. Oz discussed “organized crime,” and Deputy Sec. O’Neill talked about how those involved in the massive fraud seem to be using the courts to stop them from asking questions and getting answers.
