Greenfield is a small city in California’s Salinas Valley. Huge demographic change over the last 20 years. What could go wrong with open borders and no immigration law?

5 arrested, 1 suspect at large in human trafficking bust on the Central Coast

Authorities arrested five suspects, including a juvenile, accused of bringing women to the United States from El Salvador, Nicaragua and Mexico. Investigators said women were forced to have sex to pay off their debt.

Locations in Greenfield, King City and Gilroy were searched for evidence.
