$1.26M Child Care Fraud Center’s Phone Leads Directly to Tim Walz’s Office

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Records show the center received $1.26 million in CCAP funds, while calls to its listed phone number route directly to the office of Tim Walz — prompting serious questions about oversight, access, and accountability.

Tim Walz is facing escalating scrutiny after the viral video by independent journalist Nick Shirley exposed apparent fraud at Minnesota child care and aid facilities allegedly tied to Somali-run operations. Shirley documented multiple sites that appeared shuttered or non-operational despite records showing millions in public funding, including one facility funded for nearly 100 children that reportedly received about $4 million.

Walz’s office insists the governor has worked to combat fraud, citing audits, investigations, program closures, and prosecutions. But critics point to a far more damning claim: more than 400 Minnesota Department of Human Services employees have accused Walz of ignoring repeated warnings about widespread fraud and retaliating against whistleblowers who tried to expose it.

The revelations have intensified questions about how such alleged abuse persisted for years — and why it took an independent journalist, not regulators, to bring it to light.

Somali “Staggering, Industrial-Scale” FRAUD in ONE STATE Far Exceeds Somalia’s ENTIRE GDP

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz desperately defends himself from Somali fraud allegations uncovered in damning viral video

By Caitlin McCormack, NY Post, Dec. 29, 2025

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pushed back against the ever-growing fraud allegations levied against him in the disastrous aftermath of a viral video in which an independent journalist cracked open a crucial part of the alleged Somali aid scheme.

A spokesperson for Walz, a Democrat who frequently provokes President Trump’s ire, addressed a bombshell video posted by conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley.

“The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action. He has strengthened oversight — including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed,” the spokesperson told Fox News.

The spokesperson added that Walz has “hired an outside firm to audit payments to high-risk programs, shut down the Housing Stabilization Services program entirely, announced a new statewide program integrity director, and supported criminal prosecutions.”

In the 43-minute video published on Friday, Shirley and a Minnesotan named David travel around Minneapolis and visit multiple child care and learning sites allegedly owned by Somali immigrants.

Many were either shuttered entirely, despite signage indicating they were open, or helmed by staff who refused to participate in the video.
One of the buildings they visited displayed a misspelled sign reading “Quality Learing Center.” The “learning” center is supposed to account for at least 99 children and funneled roughly $4 million in state funds, according to the video.

Shirley appeared on Fox News’ “The Big Weekend Show” Sunday evening and boasted about his findings. He joked that the alleged scheme was “so obvious” that a “kindergartner could figure out there is fraud going on.”

“Fraud is fraud, and we work too hard simply just to be paying taxes and enabling fraud to be happening,” Shirley said.
