From Daily Mail:
Daycare centers are under intense scrutiny across the country after a massive Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota was unveiled.
After independent journalist Nick Shirley shared footage of an apparently empty Minneapolis daycare with a misspelled name sign, the federal government froze all child care payments to the state on Tuesday.
The FBI is also investigating the fraud, and Director Kash Patel said he believes Minnesota is ‘just the tip of a very large iceberg.’
Independent journalists in Washington are investigating Somali-run daycares in their state.
On Tuesday, an unidentified headscarf-wearing woman was in front of her home and she confronted journalist Jonathan Choe.
“Is this an actual daycare? Are you aware of the Somali daycare fraud going on? We’re just trying to check out if this is a real daycare,” Choe, who works for the non-profit Discovery Institute, asked.
“I am working. You don’t have to come to my home,” the woman said.
“Where are all the children? If you have a daycare, where are all the children?” Choe asked.
“I don’t have to… I don’t have to tell you what I have or what I don’t have,” she said.
Choe asked the woman to prove that the daycare is legitimate.
“I am not proving anything for you,” the woman answered, wagging her finger at the journalist. “Are you government?”
