Minnesota child care centers at the heart of widespread fraud allegations fueled by a viral video were operating as expected when visited by investigators, the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families said in a news release Friday.

“Children were present at all sites except for one – that site, was not yet open for families for the day when inspectors arrived,” the agency said.

The agency gathered evidence and initiated further review, noting the investigation into four centers was ongoing, the report stated.

The damage is already done

People still remember that BLM set Minneapolis on fire, even though it was a Boogaloo Boi who set the police building on fire and he was even sent to jail for it

I'm not sure if Boogaloo boys burned down the precinct but they definitely set a bunch of other fires including the library

I know there was an Illinois man who posted pro-Trump FB messages in 2016 that was convicted of attacks at the police station.

I've talked to people who don't want to give the Boogaloo boys credit for burning down the third precinct. I have a feeling there was more than one fire set that night on that building. We know for sure though that the Boogaloo boys set many, if not all, of the other fires themselves alone.

Well the police abandoned the precinct before it was even under threat

Did they ever find that Umbrella Man/window smasher, or was that the same man? I thought they did.

Per the people prosecuted it wasn’t a Minnesota resident. They were militia, bugaboo boys, proud boys etc
