5 People Face Federal Indictments For Forced Labor And Human Trafficking

Federal prosecutors accuse five people of forcing Mexican immigrants to work on farms by threatening to harm them.  The 14 Mexican immigrants received agriculture work visas in 2016, supposedly to work in Georgia.  Instead, they were brought to Wisconsin where their documents were allegedly seized and they were prevented from leaving.  Saul Garcia, Saul Garcia Junior, Daniel Garcia, Consuelo Garcia and Maria Remedios-Garcia face federal charges of human trafficking and forced labor.  The victims have not been identified.
