Watch — Minneapolis: FBI Raids Childcare Facilities Linked to Somali Fraud

More than 20 locations in Minneapolis were raided Tuesday as federal authorities crack down on alleged fraud linked to Somali-owned businesses in the Democrat-run state.

The targets included childcare facilities that were registered with the state but allegedly billing for care they did not provide, Fox News reported Tuesday.

Video footage shows officers exiting one of the facilities:

Sources informed the outlet two of the raids happened at Quality Learning Center and Baby Halimo Child Care which are located in Minneapolis. The ironically misspelled “Quality Learing Center” drew much attention when it was featured in citizen journalist Nick Shirley’s investigation highlighting the alleged fraud, per Breitbart News.

In December, Shirley claimed he and his team uncovered more than $110,000,000 in a single day when they visited Minneapolis to investigate. Shirley’s video showed numerous childcare facilities that were vacant or non-operational storefronts, and some were occupied by Somalis who refused to answer his questions.

After Shirley’s video went viral, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel said Minnesota’s fraud scheme was a “top FBI priority.”
