There’s a growing scandal in Minnesota involving thousands of Somalis receiving billions in taxpayer dollars from the U.S. government.
Minnesota has the largest Somali community in the U.S. (80,000 Somalis live in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area).
According to reports, thousands of Somalis, who immigrated to Minnesota in the early 1990s, run daycare centers (with no children), healthcare centers (with no patients), and over 800 transportation services (with no passengers).
One daycare center’s signage is misspelled as “Learing Center” instead of Learning Center.
The Somalis in Minnesota allegedly collected over $9 billion in taxpayer funds for those services with no apparent oversight or monitoring.
There are 539 childcare centers in Washington state that list Somali as the primary language. Most don’t even give a street address.
I don’t know how many of these are submitting fraudulent claims for state grants and subsidies, but I have a strong hunch the number is not zero. pic.twitter.com/FoUQiFNqM6

American citizens wonder how such a large-scale fraud happened under the noses of local, state, and federal officials.
The Minnesota scandal was exposed by a citizen journalist named Nick Shirley who interviewed the operators of empty daycare centers. His video was viewed over 125 million times on X.

This daycare in Minnesota receives the most amount of money from the government at a staggering $3,670,000 in CCAP funding (tax exempt), yet they can’t even give you a paper to enroll your child.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz – who was Kamala Harris’ VP pick in 2024 – disabled the daycare licensing form on the Minnesota DHS website after he held a press conference calling Nick’s investigation “white supremacy.”

ICE officials are now boots on the ground in Minnesota, investigating the reports of large-scale fraud.
Outraged Minnesota residents are calling for deportations. But one Somali man says that if his people are deported, all Africans will rise up and leave with them in solidarity.
“If you kick out Somalis from America because of this, all other Africans will leave with us in solidarity,” he says in a video that has over 1.5 million views on X.
Somali in Minnesota is very angry that Somalis are getting exposed for fraud and threatens:
