President Donald Trump's administration said Tuesday that it is withholding funding for programs that support needy families with children in five Democratic-led states over concerns about fraud. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the program, will require the states to provide extra documentation to access the funds. "Families who rely on child care and family assistance programs deserve confidence that these resources are used lawfully and for their intended purpose," HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill said in a statement.

The freeze applies to the "Child Care and Development Fund" worth $2.4 billion (2.2 billion), the "Temporary Assistance for Needy Families" worth $7.35 billion and the "Social Services Block Grant" worth $869 million. HHS said it had notified the five states and that they would require extra documentation to access the funds. The New York Post was the first to report the funding freeze for certain social services on Monday, citing unnamed federal officials that expressed "concerns that the benefits were fraudulently funneled to non-citizens."

In Shirley's video, he and another man identified only as "David" roam Minneapolis with cameras and microphones, demanding entrance to daycare centers they say are operated by members of the local Somali community. With scant evidence, Shirley accuses the centers of sweeping fraud, tying it to previous federal fraud cases pursued by Joe Biden's administration in Minnesota. The men knock on doors, argue with workers who refuse them entry, and conduct man-on-the-street-style interviews, asking people if they've ever seen children at the centers.

Move comes after a conservative YouTuber claimed daycare centres run by Somali Americans were defrauding the state. United States President Donald Trump's government has frozen childcare payments to the state of Minnesota and launched audits of immigration cases involving Somali Americans, intensifying a campaign that critics say uses fraud investigations to target immigrant communities.

The first legal brawl ended with Haresh being ordered to pay Rajesh and Chetan a combined $1.5 billion in punitive damages. Rajesh and Chetan also were awarded punitive damages and a 10 percent and six and a half percent stake, respectively, in the multifamily real estate portfolio that was at the center of the case. A total of five Jogani brothers came to Los Angeles from India, and eventually amassed a fortune in real estate and diamonds.

In an statement Friday, the OINP office said it had identified systemic misrepresentation and/or fraud related to the eligibility requirements of the skilled trades stream of the program. The OINP director then decided to suspend the skilled trades stream, the statement said, and return all outstanding applications under it something protesters say has left hundreds of workers in limbo on their status in Canada.
