- What it establishes
- The DOJ release carries photographs of the Oct 29, 2026 operation. The count of 17 warrants, including three at child-care centers, and the four arrests are FBI Director Patel's figures from the St. Cloud press conference the next day (KSTP, Oct 30, 2026). KSTP saw agents at autism centers in St. Louis Park and Edina; Rochester police said they helped the FBI with search warrants. A search warrant is not a finding that anyone committed a crime.
