Trump Announces Federal Fraud Investigation Into CA After Minnesota Scandal-lllllllllll
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that a federal investigation into alleged fraud in California has begun, signaling a widening crackdown after similar revelations of systemic abuse in Minnesota’s state-run childcare programs
“California, under Governor Gavin Newscum, is more corrupt than Minnesota, if that’s possible,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, using a mocking version of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s name. “The fraud investigation of California has begun.”
Trump did not immediately provide details about the scope of the California probe, but the declaration comes less than 24 hours after his administration froze all federal childcare payments to Minnesota amid reports that Somali-run daycare and healthcare operators stole more than $9 billion in taxpayer funds.
The president’s new statement marks the first time California has been formally linked to the widening federal effort to track down fraudulent spending in social programs. His comments follow a series of public warnings to Democratic governors he accuses of mismanaging state welfare systems.“Tim Walz destroyed Minnesota,” Trump said Monday, “but Newsom, Pritzker, and Hochul have done, in my opinion, an even more dishonest and incompetent job.
Federal officials have not released specifics of the California case, though multiple law enforcement and oversight agencies have been mobilized in recent days following the Health and Human Services Department’s announcement of a nationwide anti-fraud sweep.
HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill confirmed Tuesday that the agency has “turned off the money spigot” to Minnesota and imposed new nationwide verification measures to prevent further abuse of taxpayer funds.
“You have probably read the serious allegations that the state of Minnesota has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to fraudulent daycares across Minnesota over the past decade,” O’Neill said. “Today we have taken three actions against the blatant fraud that appears to be rampant in Minnesota and across the country.”
Under the new HHS directives:
- All federal childcare payments will now require receipts or photo evidence before funds are released to a state.
- Individuals identified in investigative journalist Nick Shirley’s viral video — which captured empty daycare centers receiving millions in public money — have been flagged for full audits.
- A dedicated fraud-reporting hotline and email system has been launched through ChildCare.gov
for parents and whistleblowers.
“We have turned off the money spigot and we are finding the fraud,” O’Neill declared.
The announcement follows a dramatic escalation in Minnesota, where Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents began door-to-door raids in Minneapolis on Monday targeting businesses suspected of laundering welfare funds through fake childcare centers and health programs.
“Homeland Security Investigations @ICEgov are on the ground in Minneapolis right now conducting a massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud,” DHS Chief Kristi Noem confirmed in a post on X. “More coming.”
The coordinated response comes after Shirley’s footage from Minneapolis’s “Quality Learning Center” — which appeared virtually empty despite receiving millions in public funds — went viral last week, prompting widespread outrage and bipartisan calls for accountability.
In the video, a woman at the facility shouted, “Don’t open up! It’s ICE!” after being approached by investigators. The center’s sign misspelled “learning” as “learing,” a detail that became emblematic of the alleged scheme’s brazenness.
Federal audits later found that the daycare and several similar facilities had received large sums despite repeated state violations and minimal oversight from Gov. Tim Walz’s administration.
Officials say the Minnesota scandal, potentially the largest case of welfare fraud in U.S. history, may have diverted as much as $9 billion in federal and state funds — some of which authorities believe was funneled abroad to terrorist-linked networks in Somalia.
Trump’s decision to link California to the expanding investigation reflects growing concern that similar networks may be operating in other blue states with lax oversight and massive welfare budgets.
“California has a long history of corruption in its social spending programs,” said one senior administration official speaking on background. “The president is making it clear that this investigation won’t stop with Minnesota.”
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
