Democrat state Rep. Yusuf Hakeem is raising questions about suspension of the Baptiste Group’s license to operate a home for migrant children in Chattanooga, Tennessee Lookout reports. Hakeem, who represents the area, questioned the timing of the move, saying allegations of sexual abuse may have given the state an excuse to suspend the group's license. Hakeem also said he is trying to figure out which entity — the state Department of Children’s Services, the federal government or the legislative committee on refugees — is conducting the investigation into the group.
