Torture, beatings at west Phoenix drop house?
Torture, beatings at west Phoenix drop house?
Reported by: Associated Press
Last Update: 10/20

54 illegals arrested in alleged Glendale drop house

Authorities say at least seven illegal immigrants found in a west Phoenix drop house Friday were beaten and tortured.

One man had a plastic bag put over his head before his head was submerged in an unflushed toilet.

Authorities say that man's pregnant wife likely will lose her unborn child because of a severe assault.

Deputies are investigating other crimes in which at least five other immigrants had guns put to their heads at the drop house by smugglers demanding more money.

1. Unfortunately, all to common in the AZ papers.
Until we have a way to welcome more legal immigrants (and slow down the flow of illegal immigrants), we'll continue to see criminals taking advantage of the situation.
