2 Sentenced to Prison in Forced Labor Case on Ohio Egg Farm
On Monday in Ohio, a federal judge ruled that two men were guilty of trafficking young workers in order to employ them on an egg farm. An investigation into the situation began after federal agents raided a trailer where they found children from Guatemala who had been forced to work at this egg farm. Some of the children from Guatemala had been promised that if they came to the U.S. they would be given an education. Reportedly these traffickers forced the workers' families to sign over the deeds to their homes in exchange for the promise that their children would be able to attend classes.
