HOUSTON (AP) – Police say more than 90 people were found in a Houston home that investigators suspect was used in a human smuggling operation.
Assistant Police Chief Daryn Edwards says authorities initially served a search warrant at the southwest Houston house after someone Thursday night reported a loved one was being held there.
Edwards says a special-tactics team entered the house and found a large, huddled group of adults – all but five of them male.
Officials ordered coronavirus testing of the individuals in the house after some complained of possible COVID-19 symptoms.
