Mexican man allegedly kept 14 foreign nationals from leaving a home in El Paso’s Lower Valley because 'his mom needed money for surgery'
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A man who allegedly told investigators he supervised a home on behalf of migrant smugglers because he needed money to pay for his mom’s surgery is now facing federal charges.
U.S. Border Patrol agents last week arrested Omar Eduardo Roman Castorena after he admitted to being in the country illegally and caring for 14 unauthorized migrants at a home on the 100 block of North Collinsworth Street in El Paso, court documents show.
The alleged migrant stash house is within walking distance of an elementary school on Alameda Avenue.
