Rhode Island Brothel Raided

(Providence, Rhode Island) City, state and federal authorities have raided and shut down a brothel operated, staffed and frequented by illegal aliens.

A tip about ongoing prostitution and complaints from neighbors about the traffic into the first-floor apartment at 33 Ida St. led to the six-month investigation that ended in a raid Saturday night where one of the ringleaders, two “security guards,” two prostitutes and nine would-be customers were arrested, state police Capt. James Demers said.

The main ringleader had been deported previously to the Dominican Republic for drug charges. He and one of the suspected security guards and eight customers were all in the United States illegally, according to the state police and immigration officials.

The state police are now drafting an arrest warrant for another suspected ringleader, a woman, who is accused of bringing different prostitutes to the apartment every weekend to work, Demers said.

The two prostitutes apparently serviced all traffic, an estimated 50 to 100 customers daily.

Just think, if the U.S. had effective border security, the entire operation would not have existed.
