The daycare was broken into and vandalized around 3:00 a.m. Tuesday morning. The burglar stole sensitive employee and client documents as well. 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)
