In a chilling revelation, the Department of Justice announced that Darwin Jeovany Palma Pastrana, a 30-year-old Honduran national living illegally in New Mexico, has been charged with the kidnapping of a Guatemalan immigrant for ransom, KTLA reports. With the assistance of co-conspirators, including fellow Honduran, Eduar Isrrael Sauceda Nuñez, Palma Pastrana entrapped migrants who had crossed into the U.S., confining them in stash houses across Phoenix, El Paso, and Albuquerque. In a statement provided to KTLA, the Department of Justice detailed the case of a Guatemalan man whose release demanded a $1,500 ransom from his family.
