Key Points:
- Silvia Zhang and Gunjun Xuan, an Arcadia couple involved in a surrogacy scandal housing 21 children, have been arrested on multiple charges following a law enforcement operation at their home.
- The couple had been under investigation since last summer after their 2-month-old son suffered an apparent head injury, with security footage showing the nanny, Chunmei Li, allegedly shaking the infant; Li remains at large.
- The 21 children found in the home were placed in the custody of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, and the children are believed to be the product of a surrogacy operation owned by Zhang and Xuan.

- The investigation is ongoing, and more details will be released as they become available.
