Fort Bend, Texas, law enforcement officials have arrested three men accused of smuggling immigrants into the U.S. and holding them against their will, according to authorities.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to a welfare check call at about noon on Aug. 30, on Meadow Hollow Drive in Meadows Place in Fort Bend County.
When deputies arrived, they opened a human trafficking investigation when they found several immigrants allegedly being held against their will.
