U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington Tessa Gorman says 45-year-old Jesus Ortiz-Plata of Oregon and 35-year-old Juan Pablo Cuellar Medina of Washington were arrested last week, along with three non-citizens who were allegedly smuggled out of Canada. Gorman says Ortiz-Plata and Medina employed "an extremely dangerous smuggling scheme," and that in one case last August, 29 people were rescued from a freight car filled with plastic pellets. An affidavit by a U.S. Homeland Security officer says 28 were Mexican nationals and one was Colombian guiding the group, whose presence was noticed around 1 a.m. when border officers saw anomalies in an X-ray of the car. Court documents outlining the charges filed in Seattle on Friday say Ortiz-Plata and Medina came to the attention of investigators last July, after Border Patrol agents identified a phone number associated with "numerous human smuggling events" through Blaine, Wash., dating back to September 2022. The Homeland Security investigator's affidavit says Ortiz-Plata and Medina were arrested on May 23, after being tracked by law enforcement agents to an apartment complex in Everett where they believe the pair picked up non-citizens seeking unlawful entry into the U.S. » https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/migrants-smuggler-freight-trafficking-1.7218423 » https://ca.news.yahoo.com/alleged-human-smugglers-accused-hiding-120000331.html?guccounter=1 » https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/human-smugglers-used-b-c-freight-trains-to-move-people-across-border-u-s-says/ar-BB1ndKbm ▫️Behind Closed Doors: Supporting Child Survivors of Sex Trafficking with Alejandro Castro Croy (PODCAST) In this especially important episode, we shine a spotlight on the harrowing issue of child sex trafficking and explore how we can support the young survivors of this modern-day slave trade.
