It Begins: Trump Admin Makes Big Move Against Minnesota As Massive Fraud Scandal Explodes

CORRUPTION

Supporters of President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement have been remarkably patient—but patience doesn’t last forever. At some point, results matter. And if there’s ever been a moment demanding accountability, it’s now.

Put bluntly, 2026 needs to become the year of the arrests—not theatrics, not excuses, not endless “investigations,” but real consequences.

On Sunday, conservative podcaster Benny Johnson reported on X that Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler has cut off all SBA grants to Minnesota, citing the state’s staggering fraud problem. That move comes amid mounting revelations that massive sums of taxpayer money were siphoned off through fraudulent schemes, much of it tied to Minnesota’s Somali community—abuse that investigative journalist Nick Shirley further exposed in a blistering 42-minute video posted Friday.

“SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler tells me she is ‘disgusted and sickened’ by Nick Shirley’s expose of Somali small business fraud and is taking immediate action,” Johnson wrote. “SBA is cutting off and clawing back ALL SBA grants to Minnesota, effective immediately.”

According to Johnson, Loeffler blamed Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota. She also indicated that “within days” SBA had found $500 million in fraud. Loeffler informed Johnson that “state officials” involved in creating an “industrial-scale crime ring” will ultimately face justice.

At this point, the exact dimensions of that “crime ring” remain unclear. Nonetheless, as the investigation unfolds, the SBA is committed to safeguarding American taxpayers. “The scope of this international scam is still unknown, likely in the billions,” Loeffler told Johnson. “Pending further review, SBA is freezing all grant funding to the state in order to stop the rampant waste of taxpayer dollars and uncover the full depth of fraud.”

Nick Shirley’s Friday video blew the lid off the fraud scandal. “We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable,” the young journalist wrote.

To say the video spread “like wildfire,” as Shirley hoped, doesn’t even come close to capturing what happened. That would be a laughable understatement. As of Monday morning, the explosive piece of journalism had racked up more than 114 million views on X, blowing past anything Minnesota officials—or their media allies—could plausibly ignore or spin away.

The more American taxpayers learn about the details of this scandal, the angrier they should become—and rightfully so.

Shirley attempted to visit multiple state-funded “day care” facilities operating within Minnesota’s Somali community. What he found was damning: no children, no activity, and no signs of legitimate operations—just empty buildings collecting taxpayer dollars.

And the scale of the abuse is staggering. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson has estimated that fraud within Minnesota’s Medicaid system alone could total as much as $9 billion—a sum equal to roughly 75 percent of Somalia’s entire 2024 GDP. Let that sink in.

“What we see in Minnesota is not a handful of bad actors committing crimes,” Thompson said. “It’s staggering, industrial-scale fraud.” Loffler used the same phrase: “industrial-scale fraud.”

It’s one thing to let people from another country and another culture into our country, but to do that only to have those people steal from us and abuse our system is infuriating. Those who are found guilty and are citizens should go to prison for a long time; those who aren’t should be sent packing with this warning: Don’t come back or you’ll go to prison.
