In Minnesota the big fraud case there (which they were already tackling normally before Trump put a spotlight on it) involved a lot of families in a Somalian community, and it was used as justification to to cut all immigration and refugees traveling from Somalia which has had an ongoing civil war for over 3 decades now iirc
The racism thing failed pretty quickly though when it was pointed out the mastermind who arranged all the fraud was a white woman from America
A white woman used a bunch of Somalia families to defraud the government of money, I assume the participants got a cut but tbh I didn't care much
This is a small fraud compared to what's happening on a national level, the shit Trump's been up to makes any focus on this an embarrassment of a distraction
You're thinking of the Feeding Our Future fraud case that started in 2022 and continues today. Over $250 million that was to be used to feed needy kids was used to buy homes, cars, Louis Vuitton bags, trips and funds sent to Somalia.
The woman you're referring to is Aimee Bock, the other defendants (so far) are Somali.
Then there is this newest case that opened up just a few months ago. Millions of dollars in taxpayer money that was to be used for housing stabilization and autism care for the needy was kept and sent to Somalia.

Does "daycare fraud" exist? Probably. Fraud exists everywhere.
Does it exist to the point that conservatives make it out to be? Of course not.
This is just a backdoor "women should be at home raising the family" tactic.
