NOT JUST MINNESOTA? Elon Musk Reacts as Internet Sleuth Sound the Alarm in Washington State — 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.
She noted that Washington state lists a total of 5,046 childcare centers, meaning more than 10 percent list Somali as the primary language, with a heavy concentration in the Seattle-Tacoma and Western Washington region.
“Clarification: 5046 is the total number of childcare centers participating in the Early Achievers state ratings program. Care providers must be participating in Early Achievers to be eligible for state subsidies and grants,” she added.
Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk weighed in on the Washington findings, replying on X: “They are fraud-maxxing this exploit.”
