TIL there’s something called fraud tourism. Congrats, Minnesota.

Its a sobering reminder of the absolute power of their propaganda apparatuses. How easily they can manipulate a huge chunk of the population with a few boosted YouTube videos and X accounts. Its not going away when you know who dies either.

What? Somali immigrants are committing fraud? 217 million? 1 Billion? 9 Billion?

Good for them. I'm glad somebody other than rich magats are getting some too.

Gotta say, I didn't think I'd see 956 being a MAGA talking points person. I can't wait till he tells us about the cats and dogs

Wait till he hears about the Twinkie.

This thread sums up the situation well.

What it comes down to is that every MAGAt (almost always a white person) feels entitled to fully audit any brown person's life, at any time, for any reason, upon request, and if their sense of entitlement is not appeased instantly, the MAGAt will fill in all the blanks with presumptions of criminality, fraud, wrongdoing, and ascribe those imaginary crimes to the brown person's entire race. That's all the youtuber did, and the fact so many people just thoughtlessly bought into his delusions is an indictment of America.

Harper Valley PTA president with the "don't vote for convicted fraudsters" PSA chiming in.

"A south Minneapolis day care that caters to the Somali community reports that someone broke through a wall and stole sensitive documents early Tuesday morning, heightening fear in the community. 

The break-in at Nokomis Daycare Center, which is run by Somali owners, occurred between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. several days after right-wing influencer Nick Shirley posted a video on Youtube alleging fraud at Somali-owned day care centers in Minnesota. Nokomis Daycare Center’s manager, child care providers and parents spoke at a news conference Wednesday morning, saying the video targeted the Somali community and prompted a federal freeze in assistance for Minnesota child care centers."

Minnesota child care centers accused of wrongdoing were operating as expected, report says

Minnesota child care centers at the heart of widespread fraud allegations fueled by a viral video were operating as expected when visited by investigators, the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families said in a news release Friday.

“Children were present at all sites except for one – that site, was not yet open for families for the day when inspectors arrived,” the agency said.

The agency gathered evidence and initiated further review, noting the investigation into four centers was ongoing, the report stated.

The report comes 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 3 million views on YouTube as of Friday and gained traction after being reposted by Vice President JD Vance and former Department of Government Efficiency leader Elon Musk.

The conservative activist’s 42-minute video posted the day after Christmas quickly spread, prompting stepped up immigration enforcement, frozen federal funds and more biting rhetoric against the Somali community from President Donald Trump.

The state Department of Children, Youth, and Families on Friday warned distribution of “unvetted or deceptive claims and misuse of tip lines can interfere with investigations, create safety risks for families, providers, and employers, and has contributed to harmful discourse about Minnesota’s immigrant communities.”

Pro-Trump influencers fire up fears of migrant 'invasion'...

While it is difficult to quantify the influencers' impact on the debate, immigration is a top election issue for voters and a central plank of Trump's campaign to reclaim the presidency.

He acts just like every other right wing shithead too and backpedals and claims victimhood if you call him out over it too. I wonder what his surly handle is

He's extremely conservative when it comes to law enforcement issues, both immigration and criminal.

Minnesota officials visited four…four sites and 3 out of 4 were operational and therefore back to…

I really don't know why y'all tag incredulity. He is lost, and is proud of his ignorance. He WANTS you to get mad at him, he has no stance aside from "own the libz".

Just put his fascist ass on ignore. He's not worth your time, or anyone's time.

First off, fraud is pretty rampant, everywhere. Every state in the union, including a healthy dose right here in Texas.

Feeding our Future was apparently a bit of a special case. Made possible by the privatization of social services and stripping of funding of governmental oversight, as well as the predilections of Somali immigrants in Minnesota.

The ONLY reason this is a big story is, number one, darkie immigrants, and number two, Minnesota is librul and its governor challenged the authority of dear leader.

Chris Rufo is behind this and he is a known fabulist and propagandist. https://minnesotareformer.com/2025/11/25/right-wing-reporting-on-somali-money-going-to-al-shabaab-is-sloppy/

Of course, the surly rittenhouse fan club LOVES Rufo, as they always have.

Also, if republicans actually gave a shit about fraud they would be furious over all the fraudulent CEOs having their convictions and prison sentences and billions in fines pardoned by the pedophile in chief

Somali-owned daycare in south Minneapolis burglarized

Nokomis Daycare Center in south Minneapolis reports that someone broke in and stole documents Tuesday, days after Nick Shirley’s YouTube video about fraud went viral.

They are not crimes if done in the name of Trump.

"“EVERY Somali in MN is engaged in fraud. ALL of them,” Hoch posted on the now-deleted Instagram account.

In November, he posted, “Even the Blacks have had enough of the demon Muslims.”

Hoch’s last name was not given in Shirley’s video, but The Intercept identified him using information in the video itself cross-referenced with publicly available materials.

According to the video, Hoch received information for his campaign against Somali day care centers from the Minnesota state House. Emails shown in the video reveal he got state-funding figures for specific centers from a Republican staffer named Joe Marble.

Neither Hoch nor Marble responded to requests for comment."
