Investigations by State

Government programs operate state by state. So do many of the alleged schemes that drain them.

This section organizes the archive geographically so you can see what has been documented in any given state — empty facilities still receiving payments, billing patterns that drew scrutiny, local enforcement actions, and the citizen journalists who showed up with cameras.

How to Use This Section

  • Open any state to see matching investigations currently archived on the site
  • Cross-check with Categories for program-level views (healthcare, childcare, immigration-related benefits, government waste)
  • Use Creators when you want everything from a specific investigator or organization
  • Visit DOGE for material tied to federal efficiency and waste-reduction efforts

High-volume states such as California and Minnesota have additional context pages explaining why they became focal points. Other states are populated dynamically from the video archive as material is tagged and added.

The goal is simple: make the geographic pattern visible so the public record is harder to ignore.

Browse documented fraud investigations and accountability journalism organized by U.S. state. Find the cases, the footage, and the patterns state by state.
