DHS is conducting door-to-door investigations in Minnesota with hundreds of HSI officers and has made over 1,000 arrests in the past few weeks as reported.
Available evidence confirms that the Department of Homeland Security has deployed Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents to Minnesota and publicly described them as going “door-to-door” at suspected fraud sites. Local reporting based on DHS social media posts shows HSI agents visiting specific businesses in Burnsville, Minnesota, as part of a fraud crackdown.
However, as of January 2, 2026, there is no primary-source confirmation that there are “hundreds” of HSI officers on the ground in Minnesota, nor any official DHS statement or independently verifiable data supporting the claim that DHS has arrested “over 1,000 criminal illegal aliens in just the past few weeks” specifically connected in time to this Minnesota operation. DHS has recently announced large national numbers of criminal illegal alien arrests under the Laken Riley Act, but those are cumulative nationwide figures, not clearly tied to “the past few weeks” or to Minnesota. Because the claim blends a partly supported description of operations (door-to-door visits) with numerical assertions that lack verifiable, time-specific evidence, the overall statement cannot be reliably rated as true or false at this time.
Verdict: Unclear, because while door-to-door activity in Minnesota is documented, independently verifiable evidence for “hundreds” of HSI officers in-state and “over 1,000” criminal illegal alien arrests in recent weeks is not available as of the current date.
