FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash - IN CUSTODY: Said Abdullahi Ereg – the FIRST EVER arrest of a “Most Wanted Fraudsters” since the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud released our Most Wanted Fraudsters list last week. Ereg just landed in Minneapolis and was taken into custody after turning himself in. He has been wanted on federal charges since 2024.
Ereg allegedly stole over $4 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program in Minneapolis during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020-2021. He allegedly falsely claimed to have served meals to children in need, claiming fake reimbursements from the government, and then laundered the money through foreign accounts to fund a lavish lifestyle. He is charged with Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Wire Fraud, and Money Laundering.
When @VP Vance led the way for the Most Wanted Fraudsters list through the @WhiteHouse @WHFraudTF – this was exactly the righteous goal the Task Force had in mind – to bring to justice all those who have stolen money from hardworking American taxpayers. This historic result is only the beginning - and let it be a message to any fraudster who takes advantage of America, this team will find you. @DAGToddBlanche @FBIMinneapolis

FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash - Honored to spend time with the National Sheriff’s Association @NationalSheriff Board this afternoon in Omaha – the NSA represents over 3,000 elected sheriffs across the country and has a membership of over 22,000 deputies and other law enforcement professionals nationwide.
They are critical partners for this @FBI working to make America safer than we’ve been in decades. Discussed our collaborative work including Homeland Security Task Forces, information sharing, our counter UAS training programs, working with local LEO’s on using AI to triage threats, the threat landscape for FIFA events, and more.
Thanks to NSA President West for graciously hosting.

FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash - Early this morning, @FBI and partners arrested 7 individuals on a 10 count indictment for allegedly targeting University of Michigan leaders and businesses in the Eastern Michigan region with violent threats and attacks.
The indictment alleges that after the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, these individuals - a group of college-aged adults - engaged in a coordinated campaign of violent, criminal acts seeking to pressure University of Michigan leaders and other businesses in the Eastern District of Michigan to cut off all ties with Israel.
The subjects allegedly vandalized the victims’ property, spray painted their homes with messages like “Intifada” and “Free Palestine,” left threatening notes on their doors, and even broke windows of the victims’ homes - throwing glass jars filled with chemicals while children slept inside.
They deliberately chose the one-year anniversary of Hamas’s attack to engage in some of their most visible criminal acts - including one subject who specifically targeted the Bloomfield Township Jewish Federation on October 7, 2024. On the same day, another subject - employed by the University - vandalized the University President’s home.
The alleged criminal targeting occurred for over a year - beginning approximately March 2024 and continuing until April 2025.
@FBIDetroit and our partners pursued a thorough, detailed investigation of this case - and subjects have been charged for their alleged role in conspiracies to transmit threats in interstate and foreign commerce.
