A viral YouTube video alleging a billion-dollar fraud scandal in Minnesota sparked a nationwide political firestorm.
The claims first gained traction on December 26, 2025, when YouTuber Nick Shirley published an investigation alleging that Somali-run childcare centers were fraudulently receiving state funding.
With President Donald Trump and his allies citing the allegations as justification for broader anti-Somali messaging, the unfolding scandal has become increasingly politicized.
As political leaders trade accusations, key questions remain unanswered: How much taxpayer money was taken, who was responsible, and who will ultimately be held accountable?
