Washington - US authorities raided two homes in Sanford, North Carolina yesterday and found a second group of deaf-mute Mexican immigrants forced to sell trinkets as virtual slaves, the Justice Department said.
The discovery came after police in New York last week discovered 55 deaf-mute illegal Mexican immigrants who had been forced to sell cheap key chains on the subway. Police and immigration officials found nine men, five women and three minors. All of the adults were deaf-mute. - (AFP)
