Judge orders 30-year prison sentence for key figure in Minnesota food fraud

What happened: A judge sentenced Salim Said to 30 years in prison for his role in defrauding a federal food program in Minnesota during the COVID-19 pandemic. Key numbers: 30-year sentence; $44 million in fraud attributed to Said; 6,000 meals claimed daily versus about 40 people seen by FBI cameras; $1.2 million home and $87,000 pickup truck purchased; Aimee Bock serving 42 years. Why it matters: Dozens have been convicted in the Minnesota scheme, which drew attention from President Donald Trump and was partly cited as grounds for an immigration crackdown in the state's largest cities.
