"A van suspected of transporting 13 illegal aliens was found Thursday on Floyd Hill, making it the fourth van suspected of human trafficking discovered in Clear Creek County this week."

"The incident comes only two days after a driver of a van that crashed on Interstate 70 ran from the accident. Jose F. Franco-Rodriguez, 23, was apprehended after a long search and is now charged with human trafficking, reckless endangerment, failure to remain at the scene and careless driving.

It is also the fourth van stopped this week in Clear Creek County suspected of human trafficking. A new state law allows local law departments to apprehend suspects in human trafficking, but the state has no authority to hold illegal immigrants.

"ICE (Immigration Customs Enforcement) is slammed," Krueger said.

Krueger said the problem has been going on for years.

"If I had to guess, I would say there are several loads a day," he said."
