Deport after prison sentence.
How did you know they are immigrated? Don’t assume just because they have different colors skin.
@@keosae2464so deport any immigrants and lock up the rest.
😂!@@keosae2464
No evidence with 15 women in one house. Guilty
😆
Guilty of what?
Deport them 👳🏾♂️

@@benrichardson2693 at least they were not sleeping on the streets or acting like zombies
Forced labor-isn’t that slavery
Where is the evidence of any 'force'?
Well, 60+% of American are FORCED to LABOR just to pay insane amount of rent (almost all their pay), or else they'll become ILLEGAL (homeless), wtf are you whining about? 😂
earlier broadcasts did say 'forced' labor'. But, it may simply be the women where a call center to coordinate other women to travel thru the US, and or find jobs / sponsers.
@@darwinjina Your adding more baseless speculation. There's ZERO evidence to suggest forced labor or trafficking . It's just a racist ploy. how the fk does lack of furniture in 'corporate accommodation' translate to trafficking?
@@omnicurious2949 just repeating the headline, I don’t know-why are you bringing race into this issue
How does these lawyers live with themselves for representation of these kind of people
This is why USCIS has strict regulations for visas to Indian nationals. This hurts the reputation and immigration status of genuine legal immigrants also!
Wow Your hypocrisy is next level.
He's right. @@akumaar
Exactly. It's insult to genuine indian workers..
true, but the open southern border and the sanctuary cities are far worse at hurting the reputation of legal immigrants.
They are all out on bond, what a great justice system
Thats the irony of the situation
They're already boarding a flight back to India to be praised by their hypernationalist, anti-western PM Modi
They will fly India lol
Out on bond from what? You don't even know what the crime is, but you're certain its unfair to not keep them locked up. You must be a Trumptard.
@@sree3279 IDK what’s Effen funny in it.
15 people in one house and 5 women sleeping in one room and poor hygine? - of course forced labor. This is not India . Do not compare what is acceptable there must be acceptable here . U came here for better standards of living . So , you will be punished here based on better standards of living.
Forced labor for what? Your kids come home dirty and hungry most days. Sure they were playing outside and it's now dinnertime, so there is a reason your kids and hungry and dirty. I'm going to call you a crap parents anyways because of the single moment I saw them.
They most likely were living in much better conditions than India. Just saying...
This is not India 😂 Racist much. Well, they are educated enough to know America is in another continent, unlike you, who gets his knowledge from crappy Hollywood movies.
@@Jude-gy9quare you talking about the slums in India. Poor kids.😢
@@ivetteestrada4590 No we aren't. This happened in the US
This is not a republican or democrat topic!
This is a human juman trafficking situation!
Prosecutors need to interview each individual separately!
15 people living in an apartment, ummmm something is not right here!
Have authorities look into whom / what employer sponsored their visa (most likely an H1B visa), and their funding and there's your answer. It's guaranteed to be a company operating as an IT consulting agency to give you a hint. Look into the ceo's/owners of those companies and who is funding that company. I can guarantee there is a large group of individuals funding the company. Those are the the people you want, or else this will continue and get worse.
What's the point? Everything you suggest can be done remotely, safer, easier and cheaper back home.
@@Jude-gy9qu Noone is talking about outsourcing here Jude. This conversation is about catching people that start these false businesses that bring people in under H1B visa and run these little businesses from home under these bad conditions.
Scammers 👳🏾♂️
@@bxp1696 You called me "Judy" to insult me. You must be really smart and have a well-supported opinion.
@@Jude-gy9qu Jude, here's a good example of something not to do. You could have asked me if that was suppose to be an insult instead of automatically assuming. That would have been a better approach. Not everyone is out to throw stones on YT, and noone is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. But instead of asking, you came at me with guns blazing.
Here we go again. Scammers gone wild.
Just another low level consulting agency. Doubt any of those women were forced to live in that house. Calling this a human trafficking case is a stretch.
Are u part of the gang ? Paruvu theeyaddhu
Yeah. I would like to hear from the women before calling this act evil. Javascript isn't great. Maybe if he as teaching them java it would be better, lol.
@@Jude-gy9quhe was teaching Java I think. This is quite common especially in NJ. Train people in a few months, fake their resume and get them jobs. Once employed, they get their cut. I know lots of these “agencies”
@@sankadines how is it a crime if these women were using this consultancy for free housing and training, while this consultancy was using them to increase its employees base to score more projects?
Now if this consultancy is forging documents to get work to these people then that may be employment scam, but is it human trafficking?
There are programming bootcamps that do the same thing.m this dude was just doing it on his own. If he had made it an LLC would’ve been fine
This is very common among Indians and Asian people.
Really?
Hindus , not all Indians.

Human trafficking.
Yes, this is the biggest problem of US economy. All these kind of rackets is cause of most money flows out of country while US citizens stay unemployed and unable to spend money in the economy. More than 70% IT contract job money goes in the hand of people who sends money out of country. How US economy can grow if this continue? Government keep the eyes closed and not making any regulations in hiring IT contract workers getting paid market competitively to US citizens. No recruitment companies should be allowed to do even placement if their base is out of Country. That way money doesn’t flow out of country.
All big US companies, Google, Meta ... have a large footprint in India. Much cheaper and very talented labor.
Highly skilled scammers, what a shame
Ask this attorney if he understands child trafficking and what happens to young women who trust these people.
Right? He just wants a paycheck from this criminal involved in the most lucrative criminal industry. Disgusting seeing so many (mostly Indian) people here trying to convince people this is just IT workers voluntarily sleeping on the floor in an empty house. The workers are ONLY WOMEN and they expect people to just believe their lies. They're disgusting.
It's an IT consultancy nothing more.... Calling this human trafficking would be disrespectful to actual victims of human trafficking....
Well according to the definition it's human trafficking, just because its white collared doesnt mean otherwise "the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to benefit from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation."
Deport them 👳🏾♂️
If you live in a country , follow country's law. They are doing illegal.
@@ohms7194 The first part of your spiel contradicts the last part. 🙂
Where is the evidence of 'coercion'? Where is the evidence they were 'unlawfully transported'. It appears that the temporary accommodation provided by the company lacked proper furniture! They're Software programmers...not trained to engage in sexual activities or any other form of 'forced labor'
@@omnicurious2949 Software programmers can't be forced laborers? ( in any form) that's my whole point. I was a software Developer myself in th US, and the USCIS clearly states this in a pamphlet with all the rules. I am sure these are not followed here clearly...
Even in my neighborhood in Leander I saw hydrabad people do lot of illegal things- do odd job after hours ,give house rooms at rent ..
There is NO DEBT to be paid.
It is "middle man commission" to help them "navigate" their way to the visas & jobs that they usually wouldn't qualify for.
Seems fine to me too
@@Jude-gy9qu Far from it. Here the system is cheated, people get exploited and locals lose jobs due to this low cost workforce. It’s not because they aren’t eligible for those kind of jobs, it’s just because of such people causing excessive competition for visas like H1B by filing enormous amount of duplicate applications.
Why are all the 'workers' women? Are you in the human trafficking business too? Why are you defending them?
🤡
Mostly telegu and gujrathi do this for greed😢😢😢
They are bringing what they do in their country here now. Great.
I know one computer engineer who is from andhra pradesh and settled in California this guy is very much into body shopping . The authorities will never take any action on such people.
Sir, in illinois we see lot of young and older gentlemen came here living in apartment and claims as working or studying in Tech Combaby but doing Uber, door dash don't speak English.
Buying visa gift cards to use.
Something is wrong, but I don't know what it is?
Are they Indians? I've seen people coming to US and seeking asylum by posing as victims of political and religious persecution. It's a new sham these days.
Scammers
First decent reply I have read.
👳🏾♂️
Not surpraised at all.
Giving training and falsifying experience in resumes are not new to this prople.
Shameful.
This practice, commonly known as bodyshopping, has been prevalent for over three decades. Anyone in the IT industry from India is familiar with it, and there are millions of bodyshopping firms operating at various capacities across the US. These firms often describe themselves as consulting companies, placement agencies, resourcing companies, staffing companies, and so on. They profit by taking 20 to 30% of their consultant's salary from every paycheck for as long as the consultant works for them. There is often no respect, verbal abuse, delayed salary payments, limited or no benefits, unpaid overtime, no paid vacation, sub-standard treatment, and the list goes on. These body shoppers often require their consultants to apply for green cards through the company, effectively locking them in for 10 to 15 years, during which the company makes substantial profits. Sad state of affairs!
Bull. Do all these 'bodyshops' hire ONLY WOMEN? It is OBVIOUS what they're doing. Why are you defending criminals?
@@vicw9223 He is not defending criminals. He is just commenting on what he knows and calls it a "sad state of affairs". See my comment above for why only women, men would be housed separatey and the investigators will find them soon, once they look into who else came to the US based on job offered by the same consulting company.
That is the definition of labor human trafficking
“They’re Not sending us their best”.
Get them OUT!!!
There are many “body shopping” agencies across India. Taking people to the USA on H1B on the payroll when they themselves have no jobs to offer. Then contracting these engineers to other companies and taking some percentage of salary in return.
Scammers 👳🏾♂️
IMPORTED usual suspects
Wow.. they are going to have to work overtime to catch up after this.
Prosecutors have to interview each individual separately!
Help with resumes?
Doing what?
Yeah it's just a coincidence that ALL the workers are women. Sickening how many people are defending this or seem happy about it while claiming it's going on everywhere.
Layoff spikes in tech sector the past a few months, people in their 50s and 60s lost their long time job. Reasons? Much cheaper labors in India and now in US from this type of operation.
Well sure you paid well enough he'll say just about anything you want him to
This is how Americans lose jobs
This is how lazy, entitled Americans lose jobs. Not hard-working Americans.

i be wondering if those gas station people be forced
They aren't. Those gas station employees may be illegal but not forced. They are usually just not educated and willing to work that job to stay in usa.
Is that lawyer dumb ?
No, he’s corrupt and doing it for the almighty dollar. He is bought and paid for. He’s just as bad as the criminals
He is simply doing what he was paid to do
No he wants money and human traffickers have the most of any criminal gangs.

Most of those passing out flyers and selling roses on the Vegas strip are being work trafficked. It's becoming more and more common...
Are you crazy? People are thrown in jail for not working when they owe child support all the time. Happened to by scum bag neighbor.
not illegal considering garnishment of wages and jail time for those that refuse to pay child support
He's guilty af
This is a normal outcome of a “free market” system.
U have many like these body shopping consultancies throughout Dallas! Many to come in upcoming days I believe?
Trafficking may not be right charges as trainees are staying in premises at will and not by force. Maybe they can be charged for "document forgery" under 18 U.S.C. § 1028 as police found forged documents (fake green cards). Trafficking may not be applicable in this case
“ a recruitment agency saar”
Ummmm, why so many women living on those conditions?
Where r they come from? India or Pakistan?
How did they come into US?
Do they have legal papers?
So many questions !
The dummy attorney said , it is not human trafficking… really?
Do you seriously not know the answers to those questions?..
Green card's would reduce dependency on these consulting employers
Good perspective
Green card laws for Indians are becoming harder day by day due to invalid Telugu people like this.,they lie on resume, work multiple jobs which is not legal in H1b and do all sorts of scams. Before an average wait time for green card used to be 5-6 years. 14 years later I am still waiting for my green card. Now due to this I am sure USICS will impose more strict rules. I just wish all these Telugus stop being such money hungry!
could be why some companies refuse to sponser H1B, etc
About half a million green cards are issued a year. You simply cannot increase that number without conidering how it will affect US employment.
@@tomwellington4255 Yeah you can, it's called capitalism. I would rather have the immigrants that walk across a continent than the Republicans who expect everything given to them like a birthright.

International students (mostly Indians) go through such IT consulting to get a job in order to beat the 90 days time limit. How does that imply it’s BJP/RSS? Not their fan btw! But let’s talk. Stop the misinformation.
@@prateektrivedi3171 misinformation!!!!!! Look around you, people are buying properties and list them under mandirs. Where is this money coming from??? Hope you know, they passed law in 2017 that only mandirs can transfer money: meaning BLACK TO WHITE. You can easily find people in mandir who takes 5-8% to transfer money to/from India. This is Indian law passed by government
Common theme among IT.
Police should investigate if these guys were involved in an impersonation scam, where they attend interviews for remote jobs, get the job, but let others do the work remotely on their behalf. Thus each one of these culprits are “working” for multiple employers. Apparently this scam has been prevalent since the work-from-home culture started
Atleast they are not looting the stores. Providing shelter to job seekers and Living a modest life and trying to find a job should not be a crime
Criminals defend criminals. Are you cashing in on scams too?
@@vicw9223 looters defend looters, are you cashing in on looting stores? Are you a judge to decide they are scammers? are you native Indian or descendant of someone who just barged in illegally ?
I don’t understand this country., this kind of things were happening from past 25years ., what do you think all Indian IT consulting companies are doing ., don’t just stick around this case please check all Indian IT consulting companies how they are treating their employees., this is atleast a big house , I lived in an small apartment with 15 others with cockroaches and bed bugs over the apartment., the situation is much worse than you think., USCIS stop harassing H1 candidates in terms of extensions rather focus on the employers .,
Do you think you were 'Human trafficked'? Coerced into 'Forced labor'? If not shaddafkup. Taking up company provided 'temporary accommodation' is at your discretion. Did someone stop you from living on your own, with a friend, with your relative?
I am not rallying for those greedy 'IT consulting agency' a'0les, but none of this comes under 'human trafficking'
Their attorneys will save them.again.
I think this lawyer should be in prison also
Collin county gon wild😂😂😂😂😂
And we are struggling to find jobs in our own country !
They should be prosecuted. With severe punishment.
They should look over all of their resumes created by that Indian Dude :P And you'll see they all have tons of experience with big names like Apple, Google, Citigroup, and Macy's :D
This is why local people dont have jobs.
I heard many homes in plano TX are like that. They rent to ppl who do all kind of IT jobs. catch part is rent place with very less $$ in shared space post all over internet. Well contractor who live in those place are able to save some money else hard to survive. Heard those houses also have 10-20 ppl sharing same place…. All big company pay $100 -$300 per hour for H1 kind of contract but those contractors hardly get paid $30-$40 per hour. Culprits are subcontract companies who create these problem. If ppl get paid what they report in their H1 kind of contract then this situation will not occur
My country India 🇮🇳 pm India criminal racism. Most IT engineer scammed criminals
Just because 15 ppl living together because they had no job, and this contracting company cant provide them one room each coz these ppl were broke is no crime. FBI, CBP should have better things to do than putting cases on brown ppl who just are engineers and MS students trying to get a tech job.
Lawyers man... omg lol

MODUS OPERANDI: 1) Typically, a few people from India who are already working with elite IT companies and are either US citizens, green card holders or on a work (H1B) visa, will pool in money and form their own LLC or LLP and pretend to be an IT consulting firm.
2) They will then hire and sponsor staff from India to either work under them in their companies or peddle them to other organizations. These new staff have embellished academic qualifications and work experience, making them out to be more knowledgeable and talented than they actually are.
3) The quid pro quo is that these staff will have to pay a hefty fee at the onset and continue to pay these people a portion of their American salaries (for a few years typically) for jobs that these people helped them find.
Please do, there are many in Dallas area
It would be Poojeets
