Federal agents peeled back the curtain at a Dallas strip club, arresting dozens of suspected illegal immigrants and seizing tens of thousands of dollars in U.S. cash.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Dallas, with assistance from federal, state and local law enforcement, executed a criminal search warrant at Chicas Bonitas Cabaret Friday for suspected human trafficking and unlawful employment, according to a news release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Officials said 41 illegal immigrants, including 29 people suspected of illegally working at the club, were taken into custody by the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Dallas Field Office for administrative immigration violations.

Travis Pickard, HSI Dallas special agent in charge, said the agency is committed to “eradicating the vile scourge of sex trafficking from our local communities.”

“Working in conjunction with our federal and local partners and leveraging HSI’s unique investigative authorities, we were able to disrupt the suspected trafficking operation at this cabaret and are working to identify potential victims,” Pickard wrote in the release.

FOX 4 Dallas reported neighboring business owners did not see anything unusual at the location prior to the raid but noted business has slowed since the arrests.
