Over the weekend, YouTube reporter Nick Shirley racked up 100 million views on his report exposing Somali fraud in Minneapolis.

The most viral image from his story was the "Quality Learing Center," just one of many Somali daycares that have no kids.

Would it surprise you to know that 11 months ago, KTSP 5 Eyewitness News ran a report exposing Quality Learing Center, but the daycare is still receiving tax dollars?

But it goes back farther than that.

For nearly a decade (at least), Somalis have been setting up fraud rings to steal American money.

Check this out from 2018:

State agencies are investigating financial fraud at ten different centers ... the daycare billed for 950 children who did not attend the center resulting in $51,000 in fraud just for that time period.

This was SEVEN years ago!

And it was only the tip of the iceberg.

And even with investigations and arrests in these cases, the scams continued.

This is from 2019:

And still, the fraud continues!

Tim Walz didn't apparently want you to know what's been happening right under his nose for years.

He's very passionate about daycares though:

Perhaps that's why one of the Somali daycares put his phone number on their business contact information?

Is anyone going to ask the governor of Minnesota about all this?
