A bombshell undercover recording has exposed what critics are calling a deliberate federal cover-up of massive Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota, with an FBI agent admitting that no one will ever be arrested despite billions in taxpayer dollars being looted.
On Tuesday, the O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) released undercover footage showing FBI agent Justin Devine telling a covert reporter that investigations into Somali-run daycare fraud schemes in Minnesota will quietly die without charges.
“I don’t think anybody [daycare fraud criminals] would ever go to prison,” Devine said, referring directly to investigative reporting by independent journalist Nick Shirley, whose work has exposed widespread fraud across Minneapolis.
Fulton County officials filed a motion in a Georgia court to reclaim election records seized by federal agents in January at a Georgia election office.
The motion filed by county officials under seal in a federal court in Georgia on Wednesday seeks the return of the election records taken by agents at a warehouse in Fulton County, according to The Washington Post.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says Democrats are ready to defeat a Republican bill intended to fortify election security against fraudulent voting.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act passed the House of Representatives in July and awaits approval from the Senate before heading to the president’s desk, but Democrats hope to derail its trip.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune has indicated plans to bring the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to the Senate floor for a vote, potentially using a procedural maneuver to avoid the traditional 60-vote threshold required to overcome a filibuster.
The announcement comes after a number of House Republicans, including Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Tim Burchett (R-TN), indicated that they would move to block any legislation from being sent to the Senate until a floor vote on the SAVE Act was secured. Lawmakers had attempted to attach an amendment for the SAVE Act onto ongoing government funding bills, which is expected to end the ongoing government shutdown by funding all government departments with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
It appears that there may be a growing divide within the GOP, and it’s got nothing to do with redacting files associated with a convicted sex offender.
Instead, surprisingly, it’s got everything to do with requiring Americans to provide key identification before voting.
The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, per Fox News, aims to enact two key provisions.
First, it would require states to obtain proof of citizenship in-person when people register to vote.
Even after being sued into submission in a relentless lawfare campaign, the tiny northern Wisconsin town of Thornapple has notched a victory for election integrity.
The win comes after President Joe Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice unleashed an army of attorneys on the Rusk County community of 711 residents.
The SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship before anyone is allowed to vote in American elections, will eventually be (we hope) headed for a Senate vote. The Democrats have fought against any kind of voter ID requirement, bitterly, and I leave it to you readers to discern why they are so adamant that we show a government ID for everything but voting. The Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer (D-NY), has released a statement pronouncing the SAVE Act as “dead on arrival” in the Senate.
Election integrity is the Democrat party’s death sentence.
Where the hell is the GOP Congress? Pass the SAVE Act and impeach Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.

INSANITY.

In a dramatic appearance on The Dan Bongino Show on Monday, President Donald Trump renewed claims about the 2020 presidential election and signaled that “something” is “about to come out” regarding election wrongdoing in Fulton County, Georgia. Trump’s latest comments come after federal authorities conducted a court-approved search at a Fulton County election facility, seizing ballots and election records.
On the live broadcast, Trump reiterated his long-standing assertions that the 2020 election was stolen. He told listeners that some states were “so crooked” in vote counting that results were manipulated, including in states he claims to have won. Trump said that evidence from the Fulton County search will soon reveal “interesting things,” and urged Republicans to consider “nationalizing the voting.”
Tuesday’s CBS Mornings sought to give viewers a look at “how things turn[ed] chaotic” in Minneapolis with correspondent Lilia Luciano, but she muddied the waters by blaming conservative journalist Nick Shirley for the deadly chaos and refused to acknowledge Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) had removed dangerous criminals from the Twin Cities.
Still floored by how ridiculous this segment was on Tuesday’s ‘CBS Mornings’ that downplayed the notion that CBP and ICE have removed dangerous illegal aliens (refusing to name a single one), blamed Nick Shirley for the chaos in Minneapolis, and commiserated with a hipster coffee… pic.twitter.com/NyOcTexL1O

Featured co-host Vladimir Duthiers had a similarly biased lead-in, including downplaying the reality of criminals taken off the streets:
Many Americans have been shocked by the images and stories coming out of Minneapolis these last few weeks. The White House says the surge in Homeland Security agents to the area was about combating fraud along with deporting criminal undocumented immigrants. But here’s the thing, many arrested people have no criminal record. Some say they were stopped at random. So, how did things turn chaotic?
A Virginia judge on Tuesday ruled that a Democrat-led effort to radically redraw the state’s congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterm elections is invalid.
The ruling has dealt a major setback to plans that would have dramatically reshaped the state’s House delegation.
Judge Jack Hurley Jr., of the Tazewell County Circuit Court, issued a ruling declaring a proposed constitutional amendment advanced by the Virginia General Assembly to be procedurally invalid under state law.
The Supreme Court last week ordered California Democrats to respond within a week to a Republican-backed request seeking to block the state’s newly drawn congressional maps from being used in the 2026 elections.
The move, issued by Justice Elena Kagan, who is handling the emergency injunction request, caught many court watchers off guard. Given the court’s recent decision to allow Texas Republicans to keep their mid-decade redistricting plan, most expected the justices to let California’s Democrat-drawn map stand without intervention.
California Republicans argue the new maps violate the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution by relying on race, rather than politics, to redraw at least one congressional district.
Federal prosecutors: DOJ investigation of Walz, Frey is shameful Star Tribune

Democrats, ever desperate for one-party control, filed a lawsuit in October claiming that New York City’s only Republican-held congressional district was unconstitutionally drawn because it allegedly “dilutes black and Latino voting strength.”
The Staten Island plaintiffs, represented by the Washington, D.C.-based Elias Law Group, demanded that the map — which was approved by the Democrat-controlled state legislature and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) in 2024 — be redrawn such that it’d be virtually impossible for Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis to defend her district.
Nick Shirley — the 23-year-old investigative journalist who exposed day-care fraud in Minnesota with a video that has now surpassed 140 million views — is back with part two.
“It’s a whole other aspect to the fraud scheme,” says BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler, who invited Shirley to “The Liz Wheeler Show” to share his latest discoveries.
In the first video, Shirley exposed numerous Somali-run day-care centers in Minnesota as fraudulent operations. Despite receiving millions (or even billions overall) in taxpayer-funded government subsidies through programs like CCAP and Medicaid, these centers provided no actual child-care services. Footage captures Shirley visiting multiple empty facilities with locked doors, blacked-out windows, no visible children, and sketchy “staff members.”
Democrat-controlled Maryland is set to move forward with a plan to draw out its lone Republican-controlled district, a move that will further increase the likelihood of Democrats retaking control of the U.S. House later this year.
The effort began when Democrat Governor Wes Moore established the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Commission in November 2025. Chaired by U.S. Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD), the five-member panel of Democrat appointees claimed it heard community feedback and reviewed proposals before voting to recommend new boundaries on December 18, 2025.

A Virginia state delegate has introduced legislation that would bar the hand-counting of machine-readable ballots in most circumstances.
Delegate Marcia S. Price introduced HB 968 on January 13 which would prohibit ballots “from being counted by hand for any reason or purpose not specifically authorized by law.”
The legislation would amend the state code to add that, “In ascertaining the vote, the officers of election shall use ballot scanner machines to count machine-readable ballots and shall not count machine-readable ballots by hand for any reason or purpose not specifically authorized for by law.”
Democratic Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas ripped into fellow party Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner over redistricting in the commonwealth, declaring Saturday she didn’t need advice from “a cuck chair in the corner.”
With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, redistricting plans have surfaced in both Republican-led and Democrat-led state legislatures as a strategy to achieve a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Virginia Senate Democrats on Friday approved a state constitutional amendment allowing the General Assembly to redraw the state’s congressional districts mid-decade. Touting the win online, Lucas first posted a picture of a McDonald’s worker asking, “Would you like fries with that?” on the news of the approved amendment.
Federal agents probing a Somali immigrant cash-courier operation that funneled massive sums through Minneapolis have uncovered a new stop along the route: Columbus, Ohio.
Homeland Security Department officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration officers have tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash packed into outbound luggage at passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023.
Officials said the cash was carried by U.S. citizens of Somali origin flying out of Columbus en route to Minneapolis or Atlanta. The couriers declared the money as required on federal forms.
Investigative journalist Nick Shirley blew up the internet the day after Christmas with a video that pulled the curtain back on massive Somali childcare fraud in Minnesota. In a single day, Shirley laid out evidence of an estimated $110 million in fraud, a bombshell that rocked the state and torpedoed Tim Walz’s political future, resulting in thousands of federal agents being sent into Minnesota, and HHS freezing more than $185 million in childcare payments.
Hey, you know those Somali immigrants who just stole a few billion dollars from taxpayers up in Minnesota? They’re not going anywhere.
Well, OK, maybe prison — but likely for sentences that make slaps on the wrist look painful by comparison. And then they’ll be back in the Minneapolis area, likely with the same contacts in the grift community that they had before and with the same rights as any other convict.
Tennessee GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn and other Republicans want to change that.
The growing Somali Fraud scandal has already triggered Tim Kain, the Progmerican governor of Minnesota to declare he is not running for re-election and appears to be threatening Minnesota’s Islamist anti-Americanist Progmerican representative Ilhan Omar. Nick Sherley, an independent reporter, broke the story of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of U.S. tax dollars being stolen through fake dare centers run by Somalis.
Now Ilhan Omar’s recent effort to earmark $1 million for an ISIS-linked Somali ‘Non-Profit’ has triggered a call to investigate the organization and Omar’s connections to it. Trump has responded by suspending Somali immigration and revoking the legal status of thousands of Somali “asylum seekers.” More action is being taken to strip new Somali naturalized citizens involved in the fraud, which includes Ilhan Omar.
Republican Sens. Joni Ernst and Mike Lee are asking Attorney General Pam Bondi to probe a Minnesota-based non-profit that “exhibits a troubling pattern of red flags around its legitimacy” and is run by a Somali man whose brother was arrested for allegedly trying to join ISIS.
Ernst and Lee are asking Bondi to “initiate suspension proceedings to protect ongoing federal interests pending full investigation” and to refer “relevant matters to other DOJ components for further inquiry” in relation to Generation Hope MN, a tax-exempt organization founded in 2019 that is focused on addiction recovery and substance abuse disorder, according to a copy of the letter obtained exclusively by The Federalist.
Somali-born Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minnesota Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith tried to earmark $1 million in congressionally appropriated Department of Justice funding to Generation Hope MN. The funding was exposed by Ernst and Lee, and removed by the House.
The United States Supreme Court voted by 7-2 that candidates in elections have standing to sue over Mass Mailer Ballot rules. The ruling could finally create a legal challenge to the obviously unconstitutional practice of allowing elections to be conducted in ways that are clearly impossible to secure.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision, saying, “Candidates have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns. Their interest extends to the integrity of the election — and the democratic process by which they earn or lose the support of the people they seek to represent.” The far-left insurrectionist judges, Sotomayor and Brown-Jackson dissented.
In a 7-2 decision, the majority held that Republican Illinois Rep. Michael Bost has standing to challenge state rules that allow mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day.
“Candidates have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
“Their interest extends to the integrity of the election — and the democratic process by which they earn or lose the support of the people they seek to represent.”
President Donald Trump’s administration is ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalia, ordering thousands of Somali migrants to leave the United States by March 17, including hundreds currently living in Minnesota.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the designation no longer meets the statutory requirements under federal law.
Noem emphasized that TPS was never intended to be permanent.
“Temporary means temporary,” Noem told Fox News.
