Following a viral video by Nick Shirley exposing alleged daycare fraud in Minnesota, the Trump administration has taken steps to halt payments and demanded a comprehensive audit of the state's childcare system. Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill announced a payment freeze and a new fraud hotline, stating the goal is to stop taxpayer fund misuse. Separately, GOP House Majority Whip Tom Emmer called for the deportation of Somalis involved in the fraud, with the FBI and DHS investigating claims of massive fraud. Attorney General Pam Bondi noted that a significant portion of those charged are Somali.
