Citizen journalists and civic activists are spotlighting potential Somali fraud of taxpayer funding not just in Minnesota but in multiple states across the country.

Videos from Ohio, Maine, Pennsylvania, Washington State, and others, suggest that clannish Somalis across the country have replicated the alleged taxpayer fraud exposed in Minnesota’s childcare centers by citizen journalist Nick Shirley.

For instance, in Washington state, X user Carleen Johnson noted that she found a home registered as a daycare provider in Federal Way, Washington, but no children were present when she stopped by to inquire:

Somalis are a lot like alligators in Florida.

If there is a puddle of water in Florida, there’s an alligator in it.

If there is a Government subsidy to be had, there’s a Somali fraudster in on it...............

Lame stream media version:

Racists, Ku Klux Klansmen, white supremacists, Christian dominionists and other haters are spotlighting potential Somali fraud of taxpayer funding...

I understand why folks are focused on the Somalis. But I have to wonder where the Somalis learned about this scam. And there must be many other communities running the same scam.

***Citizen Journos Expose Potential Somali Fraud in Ohio, Maine, Pennsylvania, Washington State***

Wash State has stated its intention to prosecute 'citizen journos' for hate crimes. That not only grossly limits free speech rights but it specifies that the state can determine who can be a journalist and who cannot. We cannot allow that to get started. {In the background, naturally: Perkins Coie 👎}

“But I have to wonder where the Somalis learned about this scam.”

Anyone who believes that this bunch of sub 80 IQ savages from the worst country in Africa managed to pull off a $9,000,000,000 scam for over 10 years without help from the inside is simply too stupid to have a serious conversation with.

Somalis are low IQ people that are tools of the real thieves.

Somalis get dollars while the Democrats running the scams get millions!

Correct. They were brought here to scam and give big kickbacks to be/stay in America.

Every other ethnic refugee “day care” needs to be investigated. In fact. Every single NGO needs to be investigated for fraud.

I thought I read that the Washington state AG warned that citizens who tried to investigate day-care fraud might well be prosecuted.

Message: Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown should be charged with malfeasance. Brown has been colluding with Seattle-based law firm Perkins Coie on its federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, raising ethics concerns.

Emails revealed that AG Brown’s Office gave the law firm advice on when and where to file the lawsuit against the Trump administration. Additionally, Brown directly collaborated with the law firm on an amicus brief filed in support of Perkins Coie, which had its security clearances and federal contracts revoked by President Trump via executive order.

As well, Washington State Senator Lisa Wellman has pre-filed legislation to hide information about daycares and their Somali operators from the public.

Somali fraud is probably operating in every state. No one has mentioned Illinois, and it has a large Somali population.

I hope so. Fraud is rampant throughout the state.
