Nick Shirley's Immigration Crusade Hits California Coast

A young YouTuber has ignited controversy in the Golden State, sparking a federal crackdown on Somali-operated daycares and sparking a heated debate over immigration enforcement. Federal agents descended upon Minnesota daycares owned by Somali residents following a viral video alleging widespread fraud by right-wing commentator Nick Shirley. The Trump administration responded by mobilizing immigration agents to patrol the state’s borders, while temporarily freezing funding for childcare services in an effort to mitigate the issue. A judge later ruled that the federal government must continue providing subsidies for childcare services. Shirley has now set his sights on California, where he has resurfaced outside daycares, drawing attention from immigration authorities and sparking fears of a repeat performance of his earlier tactic.
