Illegal Immigrant Scheme Busted

Chattanooga Police say they have broken up an illegal immigrant smuggling ring and stumbled on a Safe House for illegal aliens. Two suspects are in custody. They could face charges of kidnapping and extortion. The 10 illegals are in custody of Immigration and Naturalization Services and will likely be deported to Mexico. The scheme is called a Coyote scheme, and here's how police say it works. The "coyotes" promise to help smuggle people into the U.S. for money. However, it's never enough money and the immigrants end up being held hostage.
Their families are extorted for hundreds of dollars. Chattanooga Police Lieutenant Tim Carroll says they all appear to be victims of the scheme. He says Chattanooga police got a tip from officers in Illinois who were looking for one of the victims.
They tracked the suspects to Jasper, Tennessee then to East 19th Street in Chattanooga.
"We actually stumbled on this house by accident," Lt. Carroll said. "(Then we found out) they were smuggling illegal aliens into the United States."
A police spokesman says it's the third case like this they've busted in Chattanooga in the past year.

What about the neighborhoods and the citizens living there? Are they not victims too because they have no idea who lives among them and if they are criminals? What about the illegal aliens' true identities. If they commit a crime and run, who are you looking for? Illegal Alien A, B, or C.
Chattanooga,TN and Dalton,GA are a short distance from Cleveland, TN and both are illegal alien havens. Gangs, drugs, crime are rampant and Mayor Tom Rowland of Cleveland, TN has been asked to implement the 287 (g) and the Basic Pilot to discourage the attraction of illegal aliens, gangs, crime to Cleveland. What about the relationship with Jerry Bohannon, President of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce and the relationship with Pastor Daniel Sylverston of the Ocoee Regional Multiculture Services ORMS center?
Now it is said that Cleveland, Tn is the place to go for documents, drivers licenses, marriage licenses, and a "lenient" attitude toward illegal aliens. Cleveland, TN has the appearance of a sanctuary city for illegal aliens with increased drunk driving, safe houses for illegals, non enforcement of city housing codes, lack of action by law enforcement on tips of possible criminal actions such as harboring illegals, transporting and employing illegals, and possible dismissed charges in cases presented before the court.
The Police Chief Wes Snyder has still not shown effort to apply for the 287 (g). Sheriff Tim Gobble knows the need for the program and yet Cleveland, TN is attracting criminal illegal aliens, leaving citizens victim to larger DUI numbers, gangs, drugs, etc. and no one is standing up to say "ENOUGH." The Bradley County Mayor Gary Davis has been asked to support the 287. If for no other reason, it is a good, public safety program. The DUI offenders that are being released is not acceptable.
Tennessee is drowning in illegal aliens.
