Police in Houston say more than 90 people were found inside a home while officers were responding to a reported kidnapping Friday.
Police say they found the dozens of people in the 12000 block of Chessington Drive in the southwestern area of the city. Investigators are looking into the incident as a possible human smuggling case.
There were no children among the dozens of people crowded in the home, with the youngest being a person in their early 20s.

“Investigators are looking into the incident as a possible human smuggling case”.
“They also are dealing with COVID concerns. Police stated some of the people informed them that they can’t smell or taste, signifying virus symptoms. Rapid tests are being administered”.
Hope they were safe!

Probably wore out cooking.
Look at the neighborhood.
How could the neighbors not have noticed 90 people?
I wouldn't be surprised if it were an Asian smuggling ring.
That street has back yard that abut an industrial area.
Perhaps if the LE were REALLY interested they could see where the phones have pinged in the last week for those people.
Wanna bet even money they haven’t been in the house all/ every day?
Wanna bet nothing becomes of the situation?
Big deal. It’s just the New America. Coming to your neighborhood soon. /s
re: “How in the hell did this escape the attention of the neighbors?”
Snitches get stitches.
Ask me how I got flat tires on my cars ...
I wonder what the investigators first clue was.
Just another Bidenville home coming to a suburb near you.
How many bathrooms does that house have?
How many bathrooms does that house have?

I don’t know but I’m sure ‘not enough’.... Bathrooms, food,
sleeping, trash, etc. I just don’t see how they did it.
Not Human Smuggling.
Somebody just got their Air BnB Reservations confused because of Covid and everyone showed up on the same date.
It happens.
Biden will give them all citizenship.
Everything is bigger in Texas!
I’ll go out on a limb and say it was coyotes who put illegals in the house.
Covid, huh. Imagine that.
One of those horse costumes that multiple people fit in?
Make that working bathrooms. You know they broke the toilet so it’s a good thing they can’t smell.
Sounds like our house on a Saturday night when our kids were teens! Most of them legal citizens.

COVID on the Border: Migrants Aren’t Tested on Arrival in U.S. N Y Times
Excerpt: rather long article, worth reading!
Dora Eglis Ramírez and Pavel Brigido Rivero set out from Cuba to seek asylum in the United States last year, as the coronavirus rampaged across Latin America.
Starting their trek in Guyana, they managed to cross eight countries, sleeping in buses and doing odd jobs, without ever contracting the virus.
Then they crossed the border into the United States.
U.S. Border Patrol agents intercepted them late last month in Southern California and transported the couple to a heavily crowded border station. They spent 10 days and nights in cells crammed with Brazilians, Cubans, Ecuadoreans and Indians.
Rivero, 45, came down with the coronavirus and spent the next two weeks isolated, along with his still-healthy wife, at a hotel with about 200 other migrants who had tested positive for the virus or had been exposed to someone who did.
“I was healthy until I got locked up,” he said.
As the United States vaccinates larger numbers of people and several states begin to reopen after seeing lower infection rates, the failure of U.S. authorities to test adult migrants for the coronavirus in jam-packed border processing centers is creating a potential for new transmissions, public health officials and shelter operators warn, even among migrants who may have arrived healthy at America’s door.
More than 170,000 migrants crossed the border in March — many coming from countries still grappling with high infection rates — but the Border Patrol is conducting no testing for the coronavirus during the several days that the newly arrived migrants are in U.S. custody except in cases where migrants show obvious symptoms.
The government says it has insufficient time and space to test migrants upon their arrival. So while migrants get a basic health screening, testing is being postponed until their release to local community groups, cities and counties, usually after the new arrivals have spent days confined in tight spaces with scores of strangers, often sleeping shoulder to shoulder on mats on the floor.
I saw jam-packed rooms at Motel-6, Columbia, SC. Empty parking lot.
