Trump admin targets alleged fraud in Minnesota after viral video

Описание: The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security say they are surging resources into Minnesota to investigate allegations of fraud there, including at child care centers, in the latest show of federal force in the state — home to the country’s largest Somali population. The investigation comes weeks after ICE launched operations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area to specifically target undocumented Somali immigrants, precipitated by revelations about widespread fraud against the state as well as President Donald Trump’s comments that he “doesn’t want” Somalis in the country.

The stepped-up effort also comes just days after YouTube content creator Nick Shirley, who has created anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim videos in the past, posted a viral video in which he claimed to find widespread fraud at Somali-run child care centers. The video, which includes limited evidence for the creator’s allegations, has received more than 1.5 million views on YouTube as of Monday evening and was retweeted by Vice President JD Vance and former DOGE leader Elon Musk.
