CICERO, ILL. A Chicago-area woman is accused of keeping dozens of immigrants from Guatemala in her basement in deplorable conditions and forcing them to work.
Concepcion Malinek, 49, was arrested Tuesday after federal authorities raided her 1,900-square-foot home and found 19 adults and 14 children inside, The Chicago Sun-Times reported. She is charged with forced labor.
In a Thursday court hearing, prosecutors said Malinek helped the immigrants come to the United States from Guatemala. Then, she told them they owed her thousands of dollars for her assistance, got them jobs at a Romeoville, Illinois, factory and made them turn over most of their wages to her, prosecutors said.
One 15-year-old girl was allegedly given an ID saying she was 27 and made to work at the factory.

Any MAGA hats found in the home? Its Chicago after all.
Yep, White privileged, American, Paternalist.
Evil America on the march.
Horrible.
Lock her up for a very long time.
Federal authorities raided her 1,900-square-foot home and found 19 adults and 14 children inside,
They must have taken turns sitting down.
Is it her first felony charge? Perhaps she take advantage of the Smollett rule that a few hours of community service with Rainbow/PUSH will clear her record.
Another reason to CLOSE THE BORDER.....crime.
This is the kind of person that keeps the coyotes-and the cartels-in the human trafficking business-articles like this one needs to run on every fuente de noticias in every 3D world s***hole in Central America and In Mexico-let these mojado-wanna-bes see just what is likely to happen to them and their kids if they come here illegally-if they survive long enough to get to a “sanctuary city” like Chicago, that is...
A really sick thing to do but I’ll have to give her props for keeping control of 33 people. She must be one nasty Cruella DeVille to manage that.
And I’m sure that the factory owner never noticed anything out of the ordinary.
It’s Chicago, unless Princess Rahm told them to notice no notice would be made.
Fine the factory $20k per each illegal to make up for the taxes they would have paid to hire American citizens, plus the cost of all social welfare received.
E verify for every company that had to offer insurance according to their size under Obamacare.
Now lets continue the search for the other 10 to 15 million.
Not insisting on e-verify or fining employers of illegals is just further evidence that there are two parties in the USA. They are not the Dem and Repubs, but the government and the people. As more and more of our economy is government dependent, whether by contracts, employment, hand-outs or regulations, it becomes more and more difficult to get anything done that benefits non-government dependent tax-paying Americans. The in-crowd doesn’t care what ordinary Americans want, as long as they keep their positions of power, influence and money.
Now, if the Dems are calling on reparations for slavery, now will she be getting any of the money that will be stolen from hard working Americans or will she be one who will pay out?
Either the factory owner was blind and dumb or he was paying the ‘27 year old’ under the table at less than half of minium wage or he didn’t give a F about hiring Americans, so he should be arrested for child labor violation and tax evasion...
Source article says she is a dual citizen. I suspect that the claim to US citizenship is likely flimsy or fraudulent.
Probably needs all those people to clean the toilet - because of all those people.
Illegal immigration enables corrupt employers.
Employers can pay illegals less than minimum wage, and even refuse to pay them at all for work already performed.
The illegals have no recourse for complaint.
Those who come here legally are protected from this type of exploitation.
Plus, the poorest American citizens are most hurt by the competition for the lowest-paying jobs and wage stagnation.
You’d think the lefties would be arguing this.
But they demand $15 per hour while sabotaging their own demands by bringing in illegals.
Stupido.
