EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – An El Paso federal grand jury has indicted three men and a woman on charges stemming from the discovery of dozens of migrants in an alleged stash house last month in the unincorporated community of Canutillo, Texas.
Wednesday’s indictment accuses Isaac Moises Jacinto Martinez, Carlos Roman Rendon Solis, Julio Cesar Quiros and Socorro Natali Rodriguez of conspiracy and harboring illegal aliens. Jacinto faces additional charges of transportation of illegal aliens.

The charges stem from an investigation by the U.S. Border Patrol’s Anti-Smuggling Unit of a multi-family home suspected of being used as a migrant stash house by individuals allegedly working with a man with suspected ties to Mexican transnational criminal organizations.
Court documents show border agents approached the duplex in the 900 block of Vinton Avenue on Oct. 10, and talked to a woman who had just come out. Guadalupe Rodriguez Ceballos allegedly admitted to the agents she did not have authorization to be in the United States and gave her consent for them to enter one of the two units.
