Human smuggling operation suspected after police find more than 90 people in Texas home

More than 90 people were found in a house in southwestern Houston that investigators suspect was part of a human smuggling operation, police said Friday. Authorities initially served a search warrant at the house after someone called police Thursday night to report a loved one was being held there, said Assistant Police Chief Daryn Edwards. A special-tactics team entered the house, Edwards said, and found a large, huddled group of adults — five women and the rest men. The individuals told authorities they had not eaten in a while.

"It was a big surprise when we got in the house and saw what we saw," Edwards said.

Yep South Americans:

Five suspects have been charged and arrested after last week’s discovery of a suspected human smuggling operation in a southwest Houston home, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Monday. The criminal complaint charges Marina Garcia-Diaz, 22, of El Salvador; Henry Licona-Larios, 31, of Copan, Honduras; Kevin Licona-Lopez, 25, of Santa Barbara, Honduras; Marco Baca-Perez 30, of Michoacan, Mexico; and Marcelo Garcia-Palacios, 21, of Oaxaca, Mexico. All five are accused of harboring and concealing people for “the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain.”
A man from Honduras is emotional as he describes his experience with more than 90 immigrants found Friday crammed inside a southwest Houston house Saturday, May 1, 2021, in Houston.
