A Somali-run daycare in south Minneapolis reported a violent overnight break-in and said “important documents” were taken from its office, even as Minneapolis police initially noted their report showed nothing missing. Workers and the manager, Nasrulah Mohamed, painted the incident as the latest example of harassment aimed at the Somali community after a viral investigation into widespread daycare fraud in the state.
Conservative investigators and independent journalists like Nick Shirley have spent weeks exposing glaring discrepancies: empty properties drawing millions in taxpayer dollars, shuttered storefronts listed as active childcare providers, and a trail that points to a systemic looting of public programs. The viral footage didn’t invent these problems; it forced sunlight on what too many in power have ignored, and Americans who pay the bills want answers and prosecutions, not excuses.
That makes the timing of the alleged document theft at Nokomis Daycare awfully convenient for anyone trying to hide records before investigators arrive. The police finding that “nothing had been stolen” in their report only deepens the suspicion that this was a smoke screen, and taxpayers deserve to know why important files would be kept in a way that’s so easy to “disappear.” This isn’t about race or religion; it’s about whether Minnesota’s welfare and childcare safety nets have been weaponized against the American taxpayer.
The political fallout is real: House Republican leaders have demanded answers and accused the Walz administration of presiding over a culture of permissiveness that allowed hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, to be misdirected. Lawmakers are putting public officials on notice that talk won’t do — audits, subpoenas, and criminal referrals will. If bureaucrats covered up failures out of political fear, they should pay the price.
Federal scrutiny is already underway and watchdogs have signaled the need for stricter oversight of Minnesota childcare funding; freezing payouts until rigorous audits are completed is the responsible, pro-family move to protect honest providers and working parents. There’s no compassion in letting crooked operators raid the system and vanish with taxpayer dollars while genuine daycare centers struggle to keep their doors open. We should strengthen accountability, demand receipts, and make clear that government aid is not a blank check for fraud.
American families are tired of being lectured by elites who pick political narratives over facts. Conservatives stand for justice, for the rule of law, and for the hardworking citizens whose taxes built these programs. If Minnesota’s investigators and federal authorities won’t act swiftly and transparently, voters must — and when they do, they’ll make sure that taxpayer theft stops and that no community is allowed to hide illicit schemes behind identity politics or victimhood.
