One agent was taking photos while another was seen walking a large portable file case inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mini Childcare Center, notably, was mentioned in a viral social media video posted last December by YouTuber Nick Shirley, who went door to door to about a dozen Somali-owned daycares and health clinics. That video was amplified by Elon Musk, Vice President J.D.

Roughly 3,700 immigrants were arrested and detained, most of whom were not Somali nor connected to any alleged fraud.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p
