Cartel activity like this has been going on for years in California. Really can't understand why there has never been a federal response.

[spicyroads]

Do people in trouble sometimes claim human trafficking to avoid prosecution and get resources ?

[RoseNZieg]

happened more often than you think. this is just the tip of the iceberg.

[danielgriffin]

Everyone knows this is going on has been for years. The state of California made it possible.

They need to pay it back somehow. It's not that bad. They're treated good enough. When they're done paying off the debt, then they can go. They knew what they were getting into.

I wonder if the Cartels are propping up Newsom? Follow the money and see where it goes or came from.

So their first job didn't work out, now they can head to Chicago and become police officers.

Didn't the California Government seat many Non-Citizen, Cartel members in many legislative JOBS? You gets what you allow.

[jaysmith]

In CA they will be out of jail, and back on the streets in days.

Our tax resources should used to hire 10’s of millions of ICE agents & 10’s of thousands of commercial busses working around the clock nationwide focused ON NOTHING BUT deportations 24/7 365 over at least the next decade.

Can't believe people smoke this much pot. Where does it all get sold to - Timbuktu? Where does the money go - to buy bombs for Putin?
All at Californians' expense. LE did a good job here. More is needed.
