Kid with cell phone exposes $110 million in Somali fraud in Minnesota
Nick Shirley is an impressive young independent video journalist who at the age of about 27, is already pretty well known for his excellent coverage of Joe Biden's open borders, making a wonderful, watchable documentary of a day in the life of an illegal alien, housed in one of New York's hotels as well as other topics, such as flooding in North Carolina. He's a master of man-on-the-street interviews. I wrote about his earlier effort here.
Now he's outdone himself, taking his cell phone and a man named David he's working with, to record and expose massive Somali fraud in Minnesota. In one day -- yesterday -- he made this 42-minute video exposing a Somali racket in Minnesota here:
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

Shirley and his guide, "David," who has done hours of research, take to the streets of Minneapolis on Dec. 26 to ask Somali daycare owners and later, home health care providers, how to enroll someone in their services. They show state data on how many children their daycares serve, as well as millions in federal money received, and find one empty establishment after another, some of them flamingly obvious in their Potemkin operations, with misspelled names, people who say 'I don't know' to every question, people excitedly yelling in Somali, owners unable to give basic information such as price for services, and hangers on filming them with their own cell phone cameras and calling the cops on them for 'harassment.'
The cops, of course, escorted the two investigative reporters from the premises, unconcerned about the obvious problems with the Potemkin establishments -- health care providers without old people, daycare centers without little footprints of kids in the snow, utterly empty of occupants as seen through the glass on a weekday.
They learned that the Somalis notified one another as if in a racket, and many slammed doors in their faces for asking basic questions.
In the most comical moment, a white leftist karen in a keffiyeh appeared seemingly out of nowhere and started shouting behind them to the Somali "day care" owners not to open up, that Shirley and David were ICE agents, which suggests a lot of illegal aliens among those taking federal money on false claims of running businesses are actually here illegally, which didn't come up in the piece.
DataRepublican on X estimates, through data science, that there may be 50,000 of these fraudulent Somali business operations, taking billions from the state in exchange for no services:
Going to take a few hours to finish the AI queries, but I project an estimated 50,000 National Provider Identifiers potentially associated with Somalians. That's a lot of health care.
That subset will then be targeted for deeper extraction to identify websites, dollars,…

Shirley and David exposed about $110 million in likely fraud in their day's work, taking the results to the statehouse, where they were berated by another white karen Democrat wearing a puce jacket with a hall-monitor mien and probably an elected official, who showed no concern whatsoever as to the merit of their claims -- of a state that is paying Somalis for fraudulent services and this was just a day's work.
The piece was released this morning and went mega-viral, obtaining at least 25 million views. I know I enjoyed watching it, as it was honest-to-goodness man-on-the-street reporting that tells us a lot about how the Somalis managed to steal so much from the state and wield so much political power, all of it fueled by piratical fraud.

This observation from a Tijuana resident adds considerable perspective as to why they thought they could get away with it:
I’m from Mexican California (Baja). As a kid, I crossed into San Diego almost every weekend with my family. There was a clear stereotype about Mexican visitors to the U.S. not migrants, but people who crossed to shop and then returned to Mexico: once on the U.S. side, they, we,… https://t.co/i3zuXJcDVn

He sums it up as Somalis having no respect and no fear of American institutions, just a will to steal.
And this detail sums up the media malfeasance that made this state of extended corruption possible in Minnesota. The press has been completely asleep, completely out of touch with how real journalism is done, as Nick Shirley has demonstrated:
Minnesota’s largest paper just released its Year in Review.
Not a single mention of the fraud consuming our state. This is how the fraud was able to balloon into what it is today. pic.twitter.com/YW1VLsMQzZ

That's what gave Shirley his opportunity to create a magnificent piece of journalism right under their noses. The press should be red-faced with shame for not spotting this story earlier, just by knocking on doors. It was a story that, for years, was all theirs except that they didn't want to report it. They blew it, and a young kid with a camera showed them how it's done.
