Nick Shirley

Nick Shirley (born April 4, 2002) is an American conservative and right-wing YouTuber and influencer known for street interviews and political videos. In December 2025, his video alleging fraud at Somali-run child care centers in Minnesota went viral. The video showed him visiting facilities that appeared empty or inactive, interviewing bystanders who said they had not seen children at the locations, and citing public payment records. Shirley's central claims that members of the Somali community were operating fake childcare centers or inflating attendance numbers were unsubstantiated.

[...] The bill also would allow the immigrant service provider to sue a person or business for posting the images or information. ## How did YouTuber Nick Shirley get involved? In the bill's first hearing earlier this month in the Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee, Assemblyman Carl DeMaio, R-San Diego, raised questions about how the bill could be interpreted. DeMaio asked if Somali learning centers could be considered immigrant service providers. He pointed to Shirley's reporting on them. DeMaio noted there is no exemption in the proposal for journalists and worried journalists could be punished. "In this bill, applicants have to show evidence of threats, harassment, or violence. In the scenario that you've offered, neither of those things were happening," Bonta said.
