Minneapolis: FBI Raids Childcare Facilities Linked to Somali Fraud

More than 20 locations in Minneapolis were raided Tuesday as federal authorities crack down on alleged fraud linked to Somali-owned businesses in the Democrat-run state.

The targets included childcare facilities that were registered with the state but allegedly billing for care they did not provide, Fox News reported Tuesday.

Video footage shows officers exiting one of the facilities:

Sources informed the outlet two of the raids happened at Quality Learning Center and Baby Halimo Child Care which are located in Minneapolis. The ironically misspelled “Quality Learing Center” drew much attention when it was featured in citizen journalist Nick Shirley’s investigation highlighting the alleged fraud, per Breitbart News.

In December, Shirley claimed he and his team uncovered more than $110,000,000 in a single day when they visited Minneapolis to investigate. Shirley’s video showed numerous childcare facilities that were vacant or non-operational storefronts, and some were occupied by Somalis who refused to answer his questions.

They’re Scattering: Anti-ICE Leftists Consider Fleeing Country After Signal Chat Got Exposed

They got exposed, but that doesn’t mean they’ve gone away or stopped. They’re a roach infestation. These leftists in Minneapolis, causing mayhem for our law enforcement, had their secret Anti-ICE chat on Signal exposed, but new ones have been established, and the older ones nuked from existence.

Still, the chats revealed a coordinated system from which these psychopaths could engage in targeted harassment and assault of federal law enforcement. Reporter Cam Higby dropped this nuke over the weekend, and now they’re scattering. Some said they’re fleeing the country and going to Cuba, which was amusing:

Here are some of the contents from the initial story Higby dropped over the weekend. RedState broke down the mayhem even further, diving into the funding and who was on it. We know that ‘Flan,’ the alleged codename for Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, was part of this chat, along with Alex Pretti, the latest leftist shot and killed by immigration officers, which led to the second wave of lefty mayhem in the city. Pretti was carrying a firearm, though he didn’t have his proper ID with him*, at this protest, but things went awry, and he was killed. Again, interfering with federal law enforcement operations will lead to dire consequences for the agitator. The Left claims this was another execution. The bodycams from the Border Patrol agents involved are being analyzed.

Other state Democrats were listed, too, which probably explains why Gov. Tim Walz said he’s open to cooperating with Trump officials on this matter and immigration enforcement. Members of the media, including NPR reporters, are listed in the chat, along with former Walz political operatives:

Parents Of Man Killed By Border Patrol In Minneapolis Release Statement

The parents of Alex Pretti released a statement late Saturday, hours after Border Patrol agents fatally shot the 37-year-old Minneapolis man the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said was armed and looked about to “massacre law enforcement.”

Michael and Susan Pretti said that their deceased adult son was a “good man” and called on the public to “[p]lease get the truth out about” him in their statement first shared with KARE, a Minneapolis-based NBC affiliate. The Prettis also claimed Alex Pretti was “clearly not holding a gun” when he was “attacked” by “[President Donald] Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] thugs,” and blasted the Trump administration for telling “sickening lies” about him.

“We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA [Veterans Affairs] hospital,” the Pretti statement continues. “Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly.”

Alex Pretti’s parents claimed their son’s “last thought and act was to protect a woman,” explaining that at the time he was shot and killed, he had “his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.”

DHS, in a Saturday afternoon post to X, shared a photograph of a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun it claimed the man later identified as Pretti had on him when he approached federal agents that morning. The agency also claimed Pretti had on him “2 magazines and no ID.”

Chaos Erupts in Minneapolis After Border Patrol Shooting as Crowds Clash With Federal Agents

Chaos exploded across a South Minneapolis community on Saturday after a Border Patrol agent‑involved shooting. Large crowds surged into the streets, swarmed federal personnel, and clashed with agents attempting to secure the scene. What began as a rapid gathering of onlookers quickly devolved into a volatile confrontation, with agitators blocking roads, surrounding vehicles, and forcing federal officers into defensive positions amid a fast‑escalating wave of unrest.

A video posted on social media by Gunther Eagleman shows the out-of-control crowds attempting to clash with ICE and Border Patrol agents. The video shows federal agents deploying tear gas to push back the crowd. “This is exactly why the Insurrection Act needs to be invoked!” Engleman stated.

DHS officials report that nearly 200 rioters quickly arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement officers and agents who were attempting to conduct an investigation into the shooting. . .

At least one anti-ICE agitator appears to have suffered a broken leg during the ensuing skirmish. A video by Cam Higby shows agents loading the injured rioter into a pickup truck to take him to safety.

Conservative Influencer Robbed of Pricey Camera, Dragged by Alleged Robber’s Car in Minneapolis Confrontation: Video

A Minneapolis protester allegedly stole a pricey camera from conservative provocateur Nick Sortor — who chased down the suspected thief and was dragged by her car as it swerved onto the sidewalk, according to shocking video.

In a post shared on X, Sortor said the woman was part of a group that followed him and his crew around the Twin City all day — until one of them boldly snatched his camera out of his hand while he was driving down the street.

“What did she just do?” one of his companions asked as Sortor’s car came to an abrupt stop.

“She f–king…” Sortor started to say before he lunged out of his car and started chasing the suspect, who he later accused of stealing his $1,000 camera.

The two appear to get into a tussle in the street that’s largely obscured by Sortor’s car, according to the clip posted to X.

By the time the person filming follows after Sortor, the suspect is driving off — with the right-wing influencer hot on her trail as he clings to the driver’s side door handle.

Misspelled Minnesota Day Care Trucks in Children After Viral Fraud Video: ‘Never Seen Kids Go in There Until Today’

The Quality “Learing” Center Minneapolis, a purported day care flagged in a viral video designed to expose fraud, may have been bustling with kids Monday, but it is typically such a ghost town that it appeared closed, a local told The Post.

The resident called the kiddie scene at the site Monday — a few days after explosive footage called it out and suggested it was part of widespread state fraud — “highly unusual.

“We’ve never seen kids go in there until today. That parking lot is empty all the time, and I was under the impression that place is permanently closed,” the person said.

Monday’s busy parking lot and the roughly 20 kids streaming in and out as The Post staked it out was in stark contrast to the neighbor’s description and YouTuber Nick Shirley’s video showing what appeared to be a facility that wasn’t in use.

“You do realize there’s supposed to be 99 children here in this building, and there’s no one here?” Shirley asked the person answering the door to the site in his clip, which was posted online Friday.

University Event Goes ‘Weird’ as George Floyd Called ‘God’s Chosen Vessel’

George Floyd is recognized by almost everyone in America as the black man who died at the hands of Minneapolis police in a confrontation that eventually triggered race riots that caused billions of dollars in damages across the U.S. . .

But it’s a different characterization being given to him at an event in his honor at Arizona State.

There, a speaker deified him, insisting, “George Floyd died for us, each and every one … God chose him. He was a chosen vessel.”

A report at Not the Bee reported, “In the past, godly men and women were chosen to be honored by church leaders for their close walk with Jesus Christ. They healed the sick, defied tyrants, modeled virtue, traveled over land and sea to reach the lost, and helped the poor and oppressed. But today, in the Year of Our Floyd 4, we honor violent serial convicts who point guns at pregnant women, use counterfeit money, and resist arrest while sitting in a car with their drug dealer. We even honor the holy relics that were used in their cause!”

Minneapolis Public Schools to Fire White Teachers First Thanks to Teachers Union

A contract between a Minneapolis public school district and teachers’ union calls for white teachers to be fired before minority teachers, according to the contract obtained by the Daily Caller.

On March 25, the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and the Minneapolis Public Schools struck a deal to end a 14-day union strike. The deal included a bargaining agreement for various proposals, including one that fires educators based on their race, according to AlphaNews.

“Starting with the Spring 2023 Budget Tie-Out Cycle, if excessing a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the District shall excess the next least senior teacher, who is not a member of an underrepresented population,” the contract reads.

Minority teachers may also be “exempted from district-wide layoff[s] outside seniority order” and given priority reinstatement, according to the contract.

The contract attempts to protect teachers at 15 “racially isolated schools” from layoffs. These schools house the “greatest concentration of poverty” within the district. (Read more from “Minneapolis Public Schools to Fire White Teachers First Thanks to Teachers Union” HERE)

Minneapolis Votes to Keep Police Department

Voters in Minneapolis shot down an attempt to replace the city’s police department with a Department of Public Safety, setting back the police reform movement across the country.

Election results showed that 57% voted against and 43% in favor of City Question 2, with 92% of precincts reporting. Question 2 asked if an amendment to the city charter should “remove the Police Department and replace it with a Department of Public Safety that employs a comprehensive public health approach … which will not be subject to exclusive mayoral power.”

Officials such as Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Gov. Tim Walz, and Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, all Democrats, were opposed to the measure. (Read more from “Minneapolis Votes to Keep Police Department” HERE)

Derek Chauvin Sentenced to More Than 22 Years in George Floyd Killing (VIDEO)

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer found guilty of murdering George Floyd, will spend more than 22 years behind bars.

His sentencing Friday comes just hours after his team unsuccessfully tried to throw out the original verdict, a sign that they may launch an appeal.

Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill handed down the sentence following four victim impact statements from Floyd’s friends and family, including his 7-year-old daughter Gianna, his nephew Brandon Williams who said his family “is forever broken,” and Floyd’s brother Terrence.

Chauvin’s mother, Carolyn Pawlenty, spoke on his behalf saying she will always support him, believes in his “innocence,” and said, “the public will never know the loving and caring man he is but his family does.” (Read more from “Derek Chauvin Sentenced to More Than 22 Years in George Floyd Killing” HERE)
