The break-in comes several days after a YouTube video by right-wing influencer Nick Shirley went viral; the video alleged that a group of day care centers operated by Somalis in Minneapolis has misappropriated “upwards of $100 million.” (Photo by Alex Kormann/The Minnesota Star Tribune via Getty Images)
