Authorities have arrested a gang of illegal alien pedophiles during a raid on a property in Texas.
The suspects were arrested on child pornography charges in Chambers County, approximately 33 miles east of Downtown Houston.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and local law enforcement officials, the raid was conducted at a residence identified as a hub for human smuggling activities.
The Chambers County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) executed a search warrant at 5118 Dripping Springs, which uncovered a group of illegal aliens from Asia and Guatemala.
The gang of illegals is suspected to be part of a wider human trafficking operation.
The raid was part of an investigation triggered by a tip-off to the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
The intelligence received by the task force indicated that the occupants at the house were involved in crimes against children.
Authorities discovered that child pornography was being downloaded at the address, and possibly distributed.
Upon arrival, deputies were compelled to make a forced entry when occupants refused to open the door.
Once inside, they discovered ten individuals who are believed to have entered the U.S. by crossing the Southern Border illegally.
DHS was called to the scene to assist with the unfolding investigation.
The suspects were subsequently transported to Chambers County Jail for processing by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
In a Facebook post, the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office noted:
“This is an ongoing investigation looking into possible human trafficking and/or human smuggling as well as other possible crimes.”
Police confiscated numerous electronic gadgets from the location, according to Fox 26.
However, the specifics of what these devices contain have not been verified.
Additionally, items related to restaurant operations were discovered.
In a statement to Fox 26, CCSO Captain Bryan Baker said:
“Those types of downloads are illegal and are heavily monitored.
“We’re just not going to tolerate that in our county.”
