A federal grand jury has indicted an Illinois family of three siblings for conspiracy to kidnap and commit forced labor of two Guatemalan minors, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said on Thursday.

The family, Domingo Francisco-Juan, Lorenza Domingo-Castaneda, and Catarina Domingo-Juan, who are also Guatemalan nationals, allegedly conspired to bring two minors from Guatemala to the United States to work at their homes between December 2015 and March 2021, according to the indictment.

"The defendants compelled the victims to provide childcare, cooking, and cleaning within the homes and to work outside the homes in local hotels, factories, and a restaurant. As alleged, the defendants used false promises of a better life and an education to gain the permission of the victims' mothers for their minor daughters to be brought to the United States to live with the defendants," the DOJ said in the statement.

The justice department said on Thursday that a third victim was also allegedly forced to work in their homes and outside at local businesses. Additionally, all victims were isolated in the family's homes and had restricted communications with their own family in Guatemala.

The victims were also subjected to "physical, verbal, and psychological abuse, among other coercive means."

All three siblings could each face up to life in prison if convicted on all charges, according to the justice department.

If they’re illegal aliens, just deport them already. Not that that’ll happen, though.

Re-importing slavery is what the illegal alien inundation is all about.

Just think, soon these people will be a majority in some states, precincts, counties, and NEW laws, and NO laws will be the norm.. Your children will be at constant risk of kidnapping and held for ransom, or sold for slavery

The USA is going to end up looking like South America.. Walls, iron bars and concertina wire everywhere.. Welcome to the new "BUILD BACK BETTER" USA..! (spit)
