A Texas woman is in jail after allegedly forcing migrants to remain in her home while she made them work to pay off debts owed to human smugglers.
Police in Round Rock, Texas, received a call on June 22 from a woman reporting a burglary at her home. When police arrived they determined the woman was holding a Honduran migrant in her home and forcing him to work to pay off debts owed to human smugglers, according to a police affidavitby KVUE. The man reportedly owed a debt of $9,200 to smugglers who brought him from Mexico into Texas.
The Honduran migrant reportedly made arrangements with Salgado to be smuggled into Texas. The fee for the smuggling arrangement was $9,200, according to the affidavit. Salgado and her husband reportedly picked the migrant up in San Antonio and took them to their home in Round Rock — north of Austin in Central Texas.
The Honduran man attempted to escape from his captivity on another occasion. At that time, people who allegedly worked for Salgado found him hiding by a convenience store and forced him into a vehicle. They returned the man to Salgado’s home.
