The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office has two illegal immigrants in custody after arresting them for human trafficking. Sheriff Ric Bradshaw says "this is another crime that didn't have to happen because they should have never been here."
Deputies responded to a 911 call yesterday morning from a woman who said she was being held against her will.
They found her and another alleged victim inside a home in Lake Worth Beach which Sgt. Carlos Lisboa says was being used as a brothel.
"The victims were threatened that if they leave and did not comply with the demands that quote 'they knew what was going to happen to them.' The victims advised the suspects had firearms inside the residence at all times."
He says the women were lured there under false pretenses and forced to perform commercial sex activity.
Guatemalan brothers Yudvin and Glin Zunigalatin now have ICE detainers and will eventually be deported.
