Independent Journalist Who Exposed Minn. Daycare Fraud Teases: ‘More to Come’

A recent increase in the number of federal law enforcement officers operating in Minnesota followed the allegations of widespread fraud involving day care centers run mostly by Somali residents, according to officials familiar with the investigations.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and FBI Director Kash Patel announced last week that federal operations in Minnesota would be expanded.

The announcements followed the release of Shirley’s video, during which he alleged that day care centers operated by Somali residents in Minneapolis had committed up to $100 million in fraud.

Noem posted on social media that officers were “conducting a massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud.” Patel said the goal was to “dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs.”
