flag Right-wing influencers falsely accused Somali-run U.S. child care centers of fraud, triggering harassment, vandalism, and fear despite no evidence, amid broader anti-immigrant and funding crackdown efforts.

flag Right-wing influencers have intensified scrutiny on Somali-run child care centers across the U.S., sparking fear and harassment after a viral video falsely alleged fraud in Minneapolis. flag Despite investigations finding no evidence of widespread misconduct, providers in cities including San Diego, Columbus, and Federal Way reported being followed, filmed without consent, vandalized, and subjected to racist threats. flag Many installed security cameras, closed blinds, and created emergency protocols. flag The backlash coincided with broader immigration enforcement actions and political efforts to freeze federal child care funding, though courts later blocked those moves. flag Advocates say the claims are a distraction from systemic issues like long waitlists and underfunding, and reflect a pattern of targeting Somali immigrants with misleading rhetoric.
