Sex trafficking ring raided: Immigration officials raided brothels in Newburgh, Poughkeepsie and Yonkers on April 30 and since October last year have made 33 sex trafficking arrests – all from impoverished town Tenancingo in Mexico
All the pimps busted in a huge sex-trafficking ring in New York are from the same impoverished town in Mexico.
The latest alleged pimps to be indicted are brothers Isaias and Bonifacio Flores-Mendez who are from Tenancingo, the ‘world capital of sex trafficking,’ according by U.S. government officials.
Since October last year, immigration officials have made 33 sex trafficking arrests in New York – all from the town of 10,000 people about 80 miles from Mexico City.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided brothels in Newburgh, Poughkeepsie and Yonkers, all in the wider-New York area, on April 30, arresting 13 indicating that the Queens-based gangs may have expanded their sex trafficking ring. Dozens of women, mostly from Mexico, had been exploited, many forced to engage in prostitution with 20 to 30 customers a day.
ICE Special agent in charge James Hayes said on the day of the arrests: ‘The arrests today move the United States closer to blockading the repugnant sex trafficking corridor that organisations like the one allegedly operated by Isaias Flores-Mendez and his cohorts use to smuggle innocent victims between Tenancingo, Mexico and New York City.
He told The Daily News: ‘We see here that they have moved (farther) out.
‘It seems like the word is getting out that we’re cracking down in the New York City area.’
