Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Dec. 29 that the Department of Justice has been investigating Minnesota’s recently exposed fraud for months and that nearly 100 individuals have been charged since 2022, 85 of whom are of Somali descent.
Bondi credited independent journalist Nick Shirley for posting a video that reported $110 million of alleged and proven fraud. In the video, which has garnered more than 132 million views on X, Shirley knocks on doors at Somali-owned day cares and autism and health care businesses in Minnesota.
