Trump administration reportedly freezes all childcare payments to all states
The Guardian ^ | Wed 31 Dec 2025 | Carter Sherman

Posted on 12/31/2025 4:22:57 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

The Department of Health and Human Services is freezing all childcare payments to all states, an official for Donald Trump’s administration told ABC News in a report published Wednesday. States’ funds will be released “only when states prove they are being spent legitimately”.

The report came a day after Jim O’Neill, the HHS deputy secretary, and Alex Adams, an HHS assistant secretary who oversees the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), appeared in a Tuesday evening video message. O’Neill declared that the department had “activated our defend-the-spend system for all ACF childcare payments across America” and would now require “justification, receipt or photo evidence before we make a payment”.

Originally, O’Neill and Adams’s message was interpreted as an announcement that HHS would stop childcare funding in Minnesota, not all 50 states. However, the Associated Press reported late Wednesday that the freeze would apply to every state and that all states would need to provide more documentation about their childcare programs before receiving federal money.

The department did not immediately reply to a Guardian request for comment to clarify the nature of the freeze, but HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon told ABC News that “it’s the onus of the state to make sure that these funds, these federal dollars, taxpayer dollars, are being used for legitimate purposes”.

Recipients of childcare funding will have to provide HHS with extensive documentation, such as “attendance records, licensing, inspection and monitoring reports, complaints and investigations”, Nixon added.

The changes to US childcare services as part of a response to a viral video, made by a self-described “independent journalist” and rightwing influencer, that purported to discover massive fraud at daycare centers operated by Somali Americans in Minneapolis.

However, other news outlets have not been able to verify the claims made in the video.

Is Atty Gen. Pam Bondi going to be the one ‘cracking the whip’ on this investigation?

Fed should never have taken this gig to begin with...every state should fund and monitor any business within its borders. Same applies to the WELFARE...let each state take back the responsibility and COST and see how quickly it gets straightened out. Makes me sick this bleeding of billions and the bastards in charge could care less.

I know a federal judge will issue an Order by Friday afternoon, but this is good to hear.

The fraud is blatant and out in the open.

Each state should pay for it. Or not.

Democrat run states won’t turn in anything.
They won’t turn in their voter rolls either.
The Trump administration absolutely needs to keep the pressure on them.
Demoncrats and their dear leader are synonymous with crime, fraudulence and assassination plots!

This is unconstitutional! The 10th Amendment says that the US Government is supposed to pay for every illegitmate kid's rent, lear(n)ing, diapers, 54 inoculations, Enfamil, later solid food, comprehensive medical care, university education and expenses, and day care.

Forever, and their birth mother and multiple babydaddies.

And oh yeah, also, $ 1000.00 is to be given to the child immediately at the time of birth, even if they are born of an illegal alien parent here for any length of time before being born, even one second.

Oh I just bet they tried real hard to get that verification.
