Trump Administration Threatens Minnesota Child Care Funds
Update: 2026-01-03
Description
Minnesota officials face a tight deadline from the Trump administration to provide details on child care providers and parents receiving federal funds, or risk losing that money due to alleged fraud. State inspectors found nine centers operating as expected, but four are still under review. The Trump team froze funds to Minnesota and other states amid broader fraud probes, often linked to Somali defendants in welfare cases. A federal child care fraud hotline received over two hundred tips. Democrats in Minnesota call this political gamesmanship hurting kids and families. The U.S. House Oversight Committee holds a hearing on Wednesday about the Minnesota fraud claims. Federal officials sent a letter last month asking for data from 2022 to 2025, but got no reply by December 26th. Five centers now need to submit attendance records and inspections. With $185 million at stake yearly, families hope this doesnt disrupt care. Checkout Solipillow.com
