Hundreds of Somali-Run Child Care Centers Allegedly Lack Physical Addresses
The sprawling fraud scandal tied to taxpayer-funded childcare and welfare programs is no longer confined to Minnesota.
New evidence suggests the same red flags are now flashing in Washington State, where hundreds of Somali-run childcare centers allegedly operate without even listing a physical address.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on independent journalist Nick Shirley and his explosive investigation into alleged large-scale fraud involving Somali-run daycare centers in Minnesota.
Shirley shared clips from his reporting on X, including footage of a childcare facility that claimed to serve 102 children—yet appeared completely empty—before staff abruptly slammed the door in his face.
Shirley released the full 42-minute video of his investigation, noting, “We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire!
Internet researcher Kristen Mag posted findings on X showing that, according to a Washington state government database, hundreds of childcare centers listing Somali as their primary language do not include a physical street address.
“There are 539 childcare centers in Washington state that list Somali as the primary language. Most don’t even give a street address,” Mag wrote.
“I don’t know how many of these are submitting fraudulent claims for state grants and subsidies, but I have a strong hunch the number is not zero.”
Mag demonstrated the issue in a video, scrolling through the official database and highlighting missing address fields.
