Federal human trafficking investigation underway at Dundee waterpark hotel
WTVG (ABC 13 Toledo, OH) ^ | 09/18/2024 | WTVG Staff

Splash Universe, a waterpark hotel in Dundee, Michigan, is at the center of a human trafficking investigation. That’s according to federal agents with Homeland Security.

The investigation stems from an alleged argument that turned physical between hotel staff and the manager. According to a report from Dundee Police, that manager called an officer to the hotel on Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024, at about 6:50 p.m. He said a female employee threw a phone and hit him in the head.

Once he arrived, the officer said no one among a group of five employees spoke English. So, he called a Michigan State Police officer who translated from Spanish over the phone.

The police report states a 30-year-old woman, " ... told the interpreter that she was an undocumented immigrant who was brought to Splash Universe by the manager with the promise of receiving $90.00 per day for working at the hotel, along with room and board. She said they had worked nine days and had yet to receive payment.”

The officer also wrote a 25-year-old woman “... used Google Translate to tell me that she was pregnant and that she had not eaten in two days. She also told me that the argument had started specifically after they were told that they were only going to be paid $5 per hour, instead of the $90.00 a day they were originally promised. She also told me that the manager had threatened to call ICE if they did not do what he told them to do.”

Dundee Police then contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement. An ICE agent confirmed the three who had IDs were in the country illegally and told the Dundee Police officer it sounded like the hotel was trafficking immigrants.

I am sure this style of ‘making money’ can be expected to increase a great deal, and probably right next door and we don’t even realize it.

Once again, total chaos created, produced and directed by the corrupt SOBs who've hijacked government.

In my view this is the reason the dems want an open border. The primary uses are for labor and sex…on the cheap.

The greedy AH’s in the U.S. want cheap low wage servants.

If they have to turn your town into a ghetto, full of low wage 3rd world imports, so be it.

Profits regardless of consequences is killing America.

$5/hr X 18 hours of work equals $90 a day. Promises kept.

Illegal aliens are a form of slavery.

And here I thought it was the corrupt and greedy in the U.S. who rolled out the red carpet for upwards of 30+ million illegals so they could pay those dirt cheap servant labor wages.

It’s not all about profits regardless of consequences! All these thousands of business owners who hire millions of these illegals are all honorable with good intentions.

Thanks for the heads up.

Check their lunch bags or boxes for missing pets as filets or jerky meat.

Not a form of slavery. It is real slavery, with traders, merchants, and plantations. No sarcasm tag or humor.

And the thousands of greedy business owners who hire these slave wage illegal servants don’t give 2 sh*ts if it means turning your home town into a dangerous 3rd world ghetto.

More profits for them. Nothing else matters.

Vehicle buyers, pay close attention to who builds the overpriced ride you’re looking to purchase.

A day of just using the pool costs $60. Not sure about rooms. There are other hotels nearby with pools.

When the Chamber of Commerce types swung behind the Democratic party it was to promote this on a broad scale.
