Immigration officials said Monday they detained 23 people in connection with the bust of an alleged human-trafficking ring this weekend at a home near Cloverleaf.
A Harris County sheriff's spokesman said detectives with the county's multi-agency human trafficking task force were questioning six people in connection with the case but provided few details about the suspects, such as their nationality or any possible charges.
Gregory Palmore, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in addition to the six suspects questioned by the Sheriff's Office, ICE has 17 people from Honduras and Mexico in custody.
The case unfolded Sunday afternoon after police received a call from a man who said his father was kidnapped and being held for ransom at a house in the 1400 block of Hillsboro.
