Known as “Operation Blooming Onion”, In Georgia a grand jury recently indicted two dozen people involved in what police call "modern slavery" with a case of an organized crime ring that exploited the H-2A visa program for migrant workers after more than 100 were freed from working in hard labor. The organized crime ring that consisted of 12 individuals that took advantage of the H-2A visa program that allows workers from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras to enter the U.S.

Authorities said the defendants earned $200 million by bringing migrants into the U.S. to work as agricultural workers in horrendous conditions. The federal program requires they be paid fairly, often $10 to $12 an hour, but instead, were paid little to no money. According to prosecutors, the defendants kept the remaining cash and bought items such as a nightclub and dozens of vehicles. They also laundered millions of dollars through a casino

According to feds migrants had their documents taken away leaving them unable to leave and get help. They often lived in crowded trailers with limited food or clean water.

Reportedly at least two of the migrants died and another was repeatedly raped, according to authorities.

The lives and well-being of southern native migrants shouldn’t be taken advantage at the hands of greedy exploitation rings. There’s currently a lawsuit going on and you signature can hopefully create a voice to show not only the migrants that they have support but also show that brown hispanics are tired of the exploitation there is at the hands of capitalism. We call on allies & those who are tired of this happening not only to hispanics but the vulnerable around the world. Please Lend us your support !
