Federal officials have charged six men with harboring scores of illegal immigrants who were found packed into a house in a quiet southeast Houston neighborhood, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced on Friday.
The one-story residence was one of many "stash houses" that smugglers use in Houston for holding illegal immigrants until they can be moved elsewhere or released after relatives pay a fee, investigators said.
Charged are Felipe Muniz-DeLaMora, Jose Garcia-Garcia, Luis Alberto Lara-Gutierrez, David Palomera-Romero, Juan Carlos Perales-Solis and Nelson Sergio Aguinaga-Aleman.
ICE agents took the occupants into custody, including a 9-year-old and 13 other juveniles, and will begin deportation procedures, agency spokeswoman Luisa Deason said. Some may be detained as witnesses in court proceedings for the six suspects, she said.
The immigrants include 26 from Honduras, 24 from El Salvador, 13 from Mexico and two each from Brazil and Guatemala, authorities said.
