Family accused of enslaving workers at Immokalee camp - Florida

Members of an Immokalee family were in federal court Friday to deny charges that they harbored and helped 15 illegal aliens stay in Immokalee on their property, including some who were kept in a box truck.

During the investigation, at least one of the illegal aliens told authorities the suspects charged the men fees for what they needed, such as $5 to take a shower with a garden hose.

Cesar Navarrete, Geovanni Navarrete, Jose Navarrete and their mother, Virginia Navarrete, were arrested on Nov. 29 after a nine-day investigation, authorities said Friday.”*
