Westborough bust? Or am I losing my mind?
Not that they're mutually exclusive.
The first headline that popped up in my Yahoo local news window this morning described a bust of an Asian place in Westborough, and indicated that two unnamed women had been arrested. Most surprisingly, it noted that the Department of Homeland Security (!) provided agents used in the bust, along with local LEO. When I went back to look for the story later today, I couldn't find it on any of the local news sites. WDC arraignments aren't online yet, but I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this. I'm 100% certain I saw this story, but as of ten minutes ago there is no trace of it online. If it was up, then suppressed, this is scary indeed. Did anyone else see an article on this?
If this story is true, I anticipate there will be more such raids going forward. The illegal immigration and "Forced Prostitution" red flags are powerful ones. We can speculate in many directions on why this is happening now, but if DHS intelligence apparatus and agents are involved, then it is undoubtedly time to be even more discrete and careful with things like telephone records and parking. Be on the lookout for charges that seem unrelated to prostitution, but rather on the illegal immigration aspects.
This is the rare issue where political forces from both the left and right seem to be lining up together, and it seems like a previously "victimless" crime is being redefined based on this coalescence.
Be super, extra careful out there.
