Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Kristi Noem (R)
Claim: “Fifty percent” of Minnesota’s visas and immigration programs are fraudulent.
Rating: UNPROVEN
Explanation: Snopes found Noem offered no data, and DHS did not clarify which visa categories she meant. The only identifiable metric—a 2025 USCIS review in Minneapolis–St. Paul—found possible fraud in at most 27.5% of evaluated cases, not 50%. Without evidence or clear definitions, her claim cannot be confirmed.
