According to Reuters, Eli Lilly has identified an impurity in compounded versions of its weight-loss medication and issued a warning regarding potential health risks. The company alerted consumers to this issue, potentially affecting individuals using these compounded drugs.
The story spread on Facebook, X, YouTube, and 9GAG, originating from an unreliable, sensational website and traced to a Facebook user named Iamjoshuajohnson. It claimed the FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement uncovered a tunnel system beneath a Minneapolis mansion owned by immigration attorneys.
No credible evidence supports claims federal agents seized 2.64 tons of narcotics and $18.7 million in cash and arrested 96 people in a raid. The story about the supposed raid traced back to an unreliable, sensational website and is unsupported by credible reporting. The headline mentioned "Somali attorneys," seemingly to tap into existing scrutiny of Minnesota's Somali community — yet the article itself never returned to that claim or provided any identifying details about the supposed attorneys or their "Somali" connection.
The fabricated story first circulated amid increased immigration enforcement activity in Minnesota. The article made dramatic claims but offered none of the basic details needed to verify them — no suspects' names, no address, no case number, no charging jurisdiction and no links to court records or official statements. AI-detection tools suggested the text was not written by a human, though Snopes noted that such tools are imperfect and results should be viewed with skepticism.
