ICE finds 73 migrants in DC homes run by human smugglers: Report

More than 70 migrants were found in six houses in Washington, D.C., operated by human smugglers, according to documents by Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.

Immigration officials discovered the migrants, 60 adults and 13 children, in six residential homes located in northwest Washington after conducting an operation that sought to uncover so-called “stash houses” in the area, according to the report obtained by NBC News. Stash houses are buildings in which human smugglers keep migrants in cramped quarters, typically without running water or air conditioning. Migrants are usually not able to leave the houses unless given permission by the smugglers.

During the ICE operation in the district, immigration officials also recovered $95,000 and cocaine, according to the report. It’s not clear where the homes were located or how many migrants were kept in each of the buildings.

However, it was disclosed that the operation took place in northwest Washington, which contains some of the district’s most affluent neighborhoods and expensive houses.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/73-migrants-including-13-kids-found-dc-stash/story?id=87565679

Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Wednesday found 73 migrants — including 13 children — in multiple Washington, D.C., homes believed to be operated by human smugglers, according to an ICE official.

The “stash houses,” as they are known to investigators, were found in the largely affluent area of Northwest Washington, the official confirmed. The development was first reported by NBC.

An ICE spokesperson declined to comment on specifics, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.

The health and condition of the migrants was unclear on Thursday. Authorities are investigating how they arrived in the district and the full extent of the potential smuggling ring, one official said.

So those smugglers are good because the illegals were not bussed by Abbott.

Are we talking about child sexual exploitation, sex slaves, nannies, gardeners, maids for the well to do including Bowser?

Paraphrasing, the D.C. mayor said that "we have begun to utilize certain locations for temporary shelters"

Perhaps, they're wealthy donors, but more likely, they are newer construction that had been earmarked for moderate income and section 8 programs for illegal immigrant families.
