PHOENIX — There's a new brand of kidnapping that's been sweeping Mexico and has been exported to Phoenix.

Investigators term it "virtual kidnapping."

The Immigration and Customs Phoenix division typically gets a report once a week of smugglers holding a hostage.

About a quarter of the reports are bogus, Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Armando Garcia said.

Mexican extortion gangs find out when someone in the U.S. travels to Mexico and demand a ransom from the traveler's family.

Gangs know the traveler can't communicate with home, and gamble that threats will compel families to pay before they learn the traveler was safe.

In another version, con artists get hold of smugglers' lists of illegal immigrants, then call their families in the U.S. and demand ransom.

Often, immigrants are waiting to cross or on their way to a Phoenix drop house when the call comes.

OK Fox News, you just messed up. Immigrants with legal valid visas to this country do not need to be dropped off at a Phoenix drop house.

Well you all know Phoenix, is the capitol in kidnappings thanks to our wonderful F----ed up mayor, Phyllis Gordony.
He is wanting Sheriff Joe to stop harrassing the poor little brown people, racial profilling he calls it.

Well, let see what he has to say if one of these fine upstanding gang bangers MS 13 rapes his wife or kids or kidnappes them.

As long as it dont happen to him and his family hes fine with all this BS.

Sheriff Joe all the WAY. HE DOES HIS JOB.
