A viral video by YouTuber Nick Shirley alleges widespread fraud in Minnesota's government-funded childcare and social programs, potentially involving billions in federal funds. Federal prosecutor Joe Thompson described the scale as "staggering industrial scale fraud." The investigation has led to charges against 92 defendants, predominantly Somali Americans. This has prompted calls for Governor Tim Walz's resignation from several Minnesota GOP legislators, who cite leadership failure in addressing the alleged misuse of funds across programs like child nutrition and housing.
