The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is investigating after more than 90 people were found in a house in southwest Houston in what police are calling a human smuggling operation.
Assistant Police Chief Daryn Edwards said police received a kidnapping call Thursday night, and the homicide division worked through the night to enter the house with a tactical team.
"When they got inside the house they realized that this is actually going to turn into a human smuggling investigation," Edwards said at a Friday news conference, adding, "It was a big surprise when we got in the house and saw what we saw."
