A special visa can protect victims of violent crimes, including kidnapping and extortion. But for the 97 migrants found locked inside a Houston home earlier this year, the involvement of federal authorities in the investigation has led to their detention and deportation.

HOUSTON Ten people were rescued Wednesday from a suspected human smuggling house in Southwest Houston, according to police.
According to HPD, one of the victims was involved in an altercation with one of the suspects in the 7000 block of Bissonnet. Police said the suspect was seen pushing the victim into a vehicle.
Police said investigators followed leads that took them to the house on McAvoy, where they made the discovery.
HPD said two suspects were taken into custody.
Everyone loves Italian ice, but transplants from up North will tell you its mature sibling gelatiâwhich has soft-serve custard blended into itâis the one to pine for. At Ritaâs, a Philly company that popularized its hometown Italian ice, also called water (ahem,
wooder) ice, the gelati comes in lots of flavor combinations, though the cherry ice with vanilla custard is primo. If youâre really feeling it, you can also call the gelati by its preferred Philly nomenclature: a radio ball. Got a problem with that? Didnât think so.
