MINNEAPOLIS – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said it’s freezing all childcare payments to Minnesota amid reports of fraud.
The ABC Learning Center in Minneapolis was one of the facilities conservative independent journalist Nick Shirley went to appearing to show abandoned daycares that receive taxpayer subsidies.
The center’s Director Ahmed Hasan said his business was open and children were inside when Shirley arrived.
“There’s no corruption going on here. A lot of people aren’t feeling safe. Some people believe him. The viral video was shared everywhere. It’s more political,” Hasan said.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says the Trump administration is considering revoking citizenship of Somalis convicted of fraud in Minnesota.
“We’re not afraid to use denaturalization. That’s a tool at the president and the secretary of state’s disposal and it’s one this administration has previously used before,” Leavitt explained.
