The Trump administration is awarding right-wing YouTuber Nick Shirley $10,000 and establishing a $25 million bounty program for the public to report fraud. US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance made the announcement on Tuesday in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, DC. The payment to Shirley follows a viral video he published in December 2025 alleging fraud at daycares in Minnesota operated by members of the local Somali community. In the footage, Shirley lingered in parking lots and attempted to enter childcare centers, interpreting refusals of entry as evidence that the facilities were not caring for children. The video triggered a significant governmental response, leading to federal immigration agents descending on the area.
