Federal Investigators Discover Minnesota’s Somali Daycare Fraud Dates Back a Decade

A federal fraud investigation into Minnesota daycare centers has uncovered a troubling discovery — the scheme may have been operating undetected for more than a decade.

The discovery was unearthed from evidence in a 2018 fraud case out of Hennepin County against multiple daycare centers for allegedly swindling the government out of more than $1 million. A video of a 2015 Fox 9 KMSP report alleged that low-income parents would sign up their children for daycare services, which would then claim reimbursement for those services that were never provided.
