The Minnesota daycare infamously featured in a YouTuber's video on alleged fraud has closed, according to the state.
The Quality Learning Center closed Tuesday, according to Minnesota Department of Human Services' Minnesota’s Somali community.
The video prompted condemnation from the Trump administration, which launched an investigation into potential fraud at businesses across Minneapolis.
Among the critics was Education Secretary Linda McMahon, who wrote on X, "One fraudulent business in Minnesota that misspelled ‘learning’ on its building received $1.9M this year while masquerading as a daycare."
Days later, the center pushed back on the allegations, saying it was not involved in any wrongdoing.
Ibrahim Ali, a man who identified himself as a Quality Learning Center manager, denied allegations of fraud at the facility.
He told Fox News that the center was currently open at the time and had never closed, contradicting statements made earlier by officials with the Department of Children, Youth and Families that the center had closed earlier this month.
Ali also said Shirley visited the facility before operating hours, which he says ran from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Thursday.
"Are you trying to record that we're doing fraud, or are you trying to put the Somali name and the fraud in the same sentence?" he said of Shirley. "That's what really hurt us the last couple of days."
As for the misspelling on the sign, Ali said a person hired to install the sign incorrectly spelled "learning."
