BREAKING: Trump admin freezes all childcare payments to Minnesota amid massive fraud scandal

The Department of Health and Human Services has frozen all federal child care payments to the state of Minnesota amid a far-reaching fraud scandal that has unfolded in the state.

HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill announced on Tuesday evening that three actions have been taken amid " serious allegations that the state of Minnesota has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to fraudulent daycares across Minnesota over the past decade."

O’Neill said he has "activated our defend the spend system for all ACF payments. Starting today, all ACF payments across America will require a justification and a receipt or photo evidence before we send money to a state." He said that the HHS has identified individuals featured in independent report Nick Shirley’s recent video, and has demanded that Governor Tim Walz conduct an audit of the centers featured.

O’Neill also announced that a dedicated fraud hotline and email address have been launched.

"We have turned off the money spigot and we are finding the fraud," he said.

Alex Adams, Assistant Secretary for the Administration for Children and Families, said his office provides Minnesota with $185 million in childcare funds every year. "That money should be helping 19,000 American children, including toddlers and infants. Any dollar stolen by those fraudsters is stolen from those children."

He said he had spoken with the Director of the Minnesota Child Care Services Office, and "she could not tell me with confidence whether those allegations of fraud are isolated or whether there is fraud stretching statewide."

A judge will put a stop to this. The money will flow again, in a few days.

They need to be frozen with any state that has African colonists building colonies in this country.

Hey he already cut off USAID, how else are the Democrats going to raise enough money to cheat in elections if they can’t steal it? After all, they’re doing it for the children! /S

SCOTUS will almost certainly overturn such a judge.
As usual.

Without the consent and approval of a Obama or Biden appointed Judge? What does Trump think he is? A King?

I’d like to hear a judge explain why money allocated for childcare is required to be diverted to scammers.

Let’s ship ALL the Somalis to Somaliland, including Omar. These people are at the bottom of the human race barrel. They scream racism, but no one seems to know what race they are. I vote PIRATE.
