明尼苏达州圣克劳德讯——一家索马里裔日托中心的老板于周二晚间赢得明尼苏达州议会席位，该中心此前已因涉嫌挪用州及联邦资金接受调查，且与一起巨额欺诈和解案存在关联。
明尼苏达民主党-农民-劳工党（DFL）候选人阿卜迪·戴萨恩击败共和党现任议员，赢得明尼苏达州第14A众议院选区（圣克劳德）席位，成为明尼苏达州议会中首位来自圣克劳德的索马里裔议员，明尼苏达公共广播电台新闻网（MPR News）报道。
戴萨恩在胜选演说中部分内容用索马里语发表，他是圣克劳德“花开育儿中心”（Blooming Kids Child Care Center）的首席执行官。自2018年以来，该中心已从州运营的“儿童保育援助计划”获得729万美元资金。
自2020年以来，他的育儿机构还获得了联邦资助的“儿童及成人保育膳食计划”（CACFP）提供的598,251.62美元资金。一家名为“营养伙伴”（Partners in Nutrition）的非营利组织是该中心申请CACFP资金的赞助商，该组织近日因欺诈行为须支付1850万美元的民事和解金。
和解文件中的一份新闻稿显示，“营养伙伴”在新冠疫情期间及之后，“故意违反《明尼苏达州虚假索赔法》，骗取明尼苏达州数百万美元联邦儿童营养基金”。
明尼苏达州官员针对索马里电视台发布的选民指南引发网络抨击：“这绝非意外”
福克斯新闻数字频道于周四前往“花开育儿中心”探访，发现现场氛围平静。这家日托中心位于圣克劳德小市区的一条主干道旁，临街的木门前贴着一张纸质标识，指引访客从另一入口进入。门旁的落地玻璃贴有深色的反光膜。
该建筑旁的停车场在周四下午大部分时间处于空置状态。
建筑后方是一片用围栏围起的小型游乐场，场内有两座儿童 jungle gym（ jungle gym 为儿童游乐设施，可译为“攀爬架”或“jungle gym”保留原名加说明，此处按通用译法译为“丛林健身架”），几乎占据了整个场地。

阿尔法新闻网（Alpha News）于10月下旬报道了有关资金问题的调查，采访到一名附近的工作人员，该工作人员称从未见过儿童进出这家育儿机构。该媒体还报道称，“花开育儿中心”已被引用过十多次违规记录。
此外，在一段视频中，戴萨恩的妻子阿扬·艾迪德向英国广播公司（BBC）讲述自己如何从南部边境进入美国后，其移民身份问题在网上引发诸多疑问。
福克斯新闻数字频道向戴萨恩提出置评请求，但他未予回应。

戴萨恩胜选的消息迅速在社交媒体上引发反对声音。
“我们的州已经完蛋了，”红斧策略公司（Red Ax Strategies）总裁马特·布罗德斯基在社交平台X上发帖称，“我们应该把它割让给加拿大。”
“明尼苏达州真是太糟糕了，”保守派评论员埃里克·道尔蒂在社交平台X上发帖称。
“明尼苏达州已经完了，”保守派人士冈瑟·伊格尔曼发帖称。
美国反伊斯兰恐怖组织“美国行动（ACT for America）”创始人布里奇特·加布里埃尔在社交平台X上向国土安全部（DHS）及该部部长马克韦恩·马伦举报了一则关于戴萨恩胜选及其所谓“无证移民妻子”的帖子。
“现在是处理此事的绝佳机会，”她说道。

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — The owner of a Somali daycare center that has faced scrutiny over state and federal funding and is linked to a massive fraud settlement won a seat in the Minnesota legislature Tuesday night.
Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) candidate Abdi Daisane defeated a Republican incumbent to win Minnesota’s House District 14A seat in St. Cloud, Minnesota, becoming the first Somali-born lawmaker in the statehouse from St. Cloud, MPR News reported.
Daisane, who delivered part of his victory speech in Somali, is the CEO of Blooming Kids Child Care Center in St. Cloud, which has received $7.29 million from the state-run Child Care Assistance Program since 2018.
His childcare business also received $598,251.62 from the federally-funded Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) since 2020. A nonprofit called Partners in Nutrition, which recently had to pay an $18.5 million civil settlement for fraud, was the center’s sponsor for CACFP funds.
A press release from the settlement says Partners in Nutrition “knowingly defrauded the State of Minnesota out of millions of dollars in federal child nutrition funds during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, in violation of the Minnesota False Claims Act.”

Fox News Digital visited Blooming Kids Child Care Center on Thursday and found a quiet scene. The childcare center is situated along a main road in St. Cloud’s small downtown. A paper sign on a wooden front door that faces the street directs visitors to a different entrance. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows next to the door are covered with a tinted and mirrored film.
The building is flanked by a parking lot that was mostly empty on Thursday afternoon.
Behind the building is a tiny fenced-in playground, anchored by two children’s jungle gyms that appear to fill most of the area.

Alpha News reported on the funding in late October, and spoke with a nearby worker who said they never saw children entering or exiting the childcare facility. The outlet also reported that Blooming Kids Child Care Center has been cited for over a dozen violations.
Additionally, questions about the immigration status of Daisane’s wife, Ayaan Aydid, have circulated online after a video surfaced of her detailing to the BBC how she crossed into the United States at the southern border.
Daisane did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

News of Daisane’s victory quickly sparked pushback on social media.
“We are a lost state,” Red Ax Strategies President Matt Brodsky posted on X. “We should cede it to Canada.”
“MINNESOTA IS SO FREAKING COOKED,” conservative commentator Eric Daugherty posted on X.

“Minnesota is done,” conservative personality Gunther Eagleman posted.
ACT for America founder Bridgette Gabriel flagged a post about Daisane’s election — and his purported illegal immigrant wife — to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin on X.
“[G]reat opportunity to do something about this,” she said.
