Two Honduran illegal migrants living in New Mexico have been charged for allegedly conspiring to kidnap other migrants to extort their families for ransom, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said Monday.
Once put in these stash houses, the migrants’ cell phones would be taken and they were told that their families would need to fork over money if they wanted to be free.“Palma and his accomplices lived near the stash houses and kept large sums of cash and firearms available. Sauceda and other co-conspirators drove migrants to various locations, including Los Angeles, to reunite them with their family and friends,” prosecutors said.
Sauceda, who is currently on the run from law enforcement, is charged with conspiracy, kidnapping, interstate communication containing a demand or request for ransom, and one count of transportation of aliens within the U.S. for private financial gain. Specifically, on April 1, Palma told Sauceda that one victim, a Guatemalan national who had entered the U.S. illegally from Mexico, that he had to pay $1,500 before being released to his family. Sauceda then ordered the victim to contact a family member to a Jack in the Box restaurant parking lot in Norwalk. At this parking lot meeting, Sauceda locked the victim inside the car and demanded a $1,500 ransom payment from the victim’s relative before driving away with the victim inside the car.
