California-based ‘Church’ Ministry Indicted by Feds in Forced Labor Case
September 15, 2019 ~ Ann Corcoran
Here is the news about the disgusting abuse in the name of God.
From the AP story at the Hartford Current:
Leaders of California ministry charged with forced labor
(My first question when I saw the news was, what are the names of the leaders? Other than the leader of the scam, the others aren’t named in most of the US news stories. But, as is so often the case the UK Daily Mail has them with pictures!—ed)
A dozen leaders of a California-based ministry were arrested Tuesday on charges that they used homeless people as forced labor, holding them in locked group homes and forcing them to panhandle up to nine hours a day, six days a week, U.S. prosecutors said.
The former pastor of Imperial Valley Ministries, Victor Gonzalez, and the others were arrested in San Diego, El Centro near the Southern California border with Mexico and Brownsville, Texas. They face charges of conspiracy, forced labor, document servitude and benefits fraud.

If the OP article linked the Hartford Courant article it apparently quoted, why not link the real article?
