PHOENIX (AP) — Federal authorities say a 9-year-old Ecuadorian boy has been rescued after allegedly being held hostage in Arizona by a human smuggler for more than four months.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Monday that the boy became separated from his mother while they were illegally crossing the Arizona-Mexico on May 4. They say the smugglers demanded $4,000 for the child's release, which his parents were unable to pay.
Acting on a tip, federal authorities confirmed through surveillance that the boy was being held at a Mesa apartment. Agents moved in Friday and rescued the boy and arrested 25-year-old Mario Fernandez-Fernandez of Mexico.
Authorities say Fernandez-Fernandez made his initial appearance Monday in federal court in Phoenix and was formally charged with human smuggling.
