Following a tip from an undocumented Mexican worker, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), uncovered a huge international trafficking ring that operated in the Greater Toronto Area. The OPP raided a property North of Toronto and rescued 64 Mexican migrants exploited by an international labor trafficking ring. Through Project Norte, our investigators rescued 64 Mexican nationals from an international labour trafficking ring. They face 44 charges between them including human trafficking, materially benefiting from trafficking people and participating in a criminal organization, among others. The majority are agricultural workers recruited through the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP) that has been in place for nearly half a century.
