A viral video depicts an apparently abandoned childcare facility with a misspelled sign and accuses Minnesota of large-scale fraud. Federal prosecutors estimate $9 billion or more may have been stolen from 14 Minnesota-run programs since 2018, including COVID-related funds. Somali Americans account for 82 of 92 defendants charged (89%). Gov. Tim Walz's office says he has strengthened oversight and sought greater authority to combat fraud. The FBI reported surging personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota. The video has exceeded one million views on YouTube and over 100 million on X and has drawn political amplification and prior administration responses.
