ICE Saves 3 Salvadoran Kids In Phoenix
natiowide bullshit i bet the money is taxfree earned :helpme :disgust :mad:
three Salvadoran children who were being held hostage by suspected human smugglers in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Authorities said they believe the children's parents live in Washington, D.C., and paid $13,000 to have the children smuggled into the country.
They said the children -- who range in age from 11 to 15 -- arrived in Phoenix in late April and the smugglers refused to release them unless the parents paid an additional $6,500. Once that extra fee was paid, the smugglers then demanded another $7,000 and the parents called authorities.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents said the children were left at a business in west Phoenix and appeared to be in good health when they were rescued Tuesday.
An investigation into the smuggling scheme is continuing.
