PHOENIX — Two human traffickers have been sentenced for their roles in holding migrants captive in Arizona, authorities said Tuesday.
Olegario Lares-De La Rosa, 30, and Ivan Heriberto Borboa-Ruiz, 28, were sentenced to 15 and 14 years in prison, respectively, after pleading guilty in February, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona.
The men, both Mexican nationals, were arrested in April 2022 after Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) received a tip from someone in New York that his two cousins were being held hostage and that the captors were demanding $16,000 for their release.
