According to the source who provided the video, a third plane carrying children arrived Friday afternoon. Flight records confirm that a fourth plane arrived early Wednesday morning, May 19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, it appears that the Chattanooga facility is under scrutiny for an allegation of abuse.<\/p>\n<p data-wahfont=\"15\"><span data-wahfont=\"15\">\u201cState and federal authorities, along with local law enforcement, are investigating a report of child abuse at a Chattanooga facility that has come under fire from Tennessee\u2019s Republican lawmakers for housing migrant children picked up by federal border authorities,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/tennesseelookout.com\/2021\/06\/16\/law-enforcement-officials-investigating-report-of-abuse-at-chattanooga-facility-for-migrant-kids\/\">Tennessee Lookout reported Friday<\/a>. \u201c<\/span><span data-wahfont=\"15\">The abuse was reported to officials with the Department of Children\u2019s Services, accompanied by an interpreter, by a teenage boy at the facility during a surprise inspection, DCS Commissioner Jennifer Nichols told lawmakers on Wednesday. The boy reported he had witnessed abuse, not that he was the victim.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-wahfont=\"15\">Tennessee DCS has the authority to perform unannounced site visits and interview children housed at the facility. During these site visits, authorities typically try to interview children staying at the shelter.<\/p>\n<p data-wahfont=\"15\">\u201cOne of the six children who was interviewed \u2018disclosed that he had witnessed an act that in our policy would substantiate and require an investigation into that act take place,&#8217;\u201d DCS noted.<\/p>\n<p data-wahfont=\"15\">A spokesperson for DCS said that DCS, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and several other agencies are involved in the investigation.<\/p>\n<p data-wahfont=\"15\">\u201cA referral was made to our own hotline, \u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cLocal law enforcement was immediately notified. The D.A.\u2019s office was notified. Since the day after that unannounced site visit, there\u2019s been an ongoing investigation involving local law enforcement, FBI was notified, the Office of Inspector General for\u00a0 ORR \u2014 they call that the Office of Refugee Resettlement \u2014 and the federal Homeland Security have all been notified and are working in collaboration with local law enforcement and our department to investigate what this youth disclosed to Mr. Anderson that he witnessed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-wahfont=\"15\">Tennessee\u2019s Republican lawmakers have largely objected to the Biden administration\u2019s decision to reshuffle the thousands of child migrants into facilities without notifying destination states.<\/p>\n<p data-wahfont=\"15\"><span data-wahfont=\"15\">\u201cU.S. Sens. Marsha Blackburn, Bill Hagerty, and U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann filed legislation to require the federal government to consult with states before transporting migrants to the state,\u201d the Tennessee Lookout noted. \u201c<\/span>Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee requested the U.S. Senate conduct hearings on the unaccompanied migrant children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-wahfont=\"15\"><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
