Federal Child Care Payments Frozen in Minnesota Amid Fraud Allegations
Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
The Trump administration has frozen federal child care payments to Minnesota due to alleged massive fraud at Somali-run day cares. The freeze was announced after an independent journalists video exposed the issue, gaining over 2.2 million views on YouTube and 127 million on X. The administration introduced a new system requiring receipts and proof for all child care funds, demanded a state audit, and launched a fraud hotline. Minnesota receives $185 million annually for 19,000 children, and officials warned that every stolen dollar affects families. Homeland Security, the Small Business Administration, and the Justice Department have also taken action, with 98 people charged and 85 of Somali descent already guilty. Investigations are ongoing, and the feds promise full prosecutions to protect taxpayer dollars.
