Independent journalist Nick Shirley reports facing escalating threats and doxxing, requiring a security detail for investigations in major cities. He claims activists are sharing his location to disrupt his work, particularly regarding fraud investigations in Minnesota and California. Shirley's work has drawn criticism, including pushback from California's Governor's office.
Independent journalist Nick Shirley claimed he can no longer investigate in major cities without a professional security detail amid escalating threats and doxxing. Shirley gained attention for exposing what he says was fraud in Minnesota.
He has since shifted his focus to California, but described the work as becoming more dangerous. 'I'll go to a city, I'll go be out filming, someone will take a photo — some activists, some left-wing activists will then take a photo, put me in a Reddit group chat,' Shirley said on 'Saturday in America.' Shirley said activists are spreading his location to disrupt his videos and inquiries into fraud. He recalled that in Baltimore and in California, critics shared his location with messages like, 'Run Nick Shirley out,' or, 'If you see Nick Shirley, it’s on site.' MINNESOTA DHS WHISTLEBLOWER DETAILS 'SMEAR CAMPAIGN' AFTER REPORTING FRAUD CONCERNS TO STATE 'This has happened in multiple cities,' Shirley told Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany.

His work drew pushback from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office, which posted a fictionalized photo of Shirley with cameras asking to see children. Shirley responded on X: 'You do realize I’m trying to help America eliminate fraud and waste right? No need to try and make me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud.'

Shirley testified in January before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance. The hearing focused on fraud allegations in Minnesota. Shirley noted on Fox News how faith has motivated him in his investigations. 'More so than anything, it's kept me on the straight-and-narrow, and it's kept me on a good path to be able to go do what I want to do,' he said.
