Feds, police join forces to take down violent drophouses
Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | May 2, 2008
The recently formed task force of federal, state and local detectives, called IIMPACT Arizona, dispatches investigators from its Phoenix headquarters when they get word that people are beaten, raped or shot at a drophouse. Detectives interrogate immigrants to identify and prosecute the coyotes. The team also builds files on who owns, runs and profits from such drophouses. So far, the task force has probed 25 drophouses and arrested 81 coyotes, 71 felony suspects and 374 illegal immigrants. “I’m confident that we’ve identified all the coyotes at every drophouse we’ve busted,” said Arizona Department of Public Safety Lt. Timothy Chung, who commands the squad. So far, all of the coyotes arrested have been convicted.
