  Twelve leaders of a southern California and Texas-based network of churches were
  arrested by federal authorities Tuesday and accused of forcing vulnerable
  people in their care, many who were homeless, to effectively work as
  panhandling slaves.
  
  The U.S.
  
  Attorney's office in Southern California said
  a former pastor and other clergy members affiliated with Imperial Valley Ministries subjected dozens of underprivileged men and women into 'forced labor' after checking them into group homes
  designated for drug addicts.
  
  The victims said they had any form of identification - driver's
  licenses, passports, etc.
  - stolen by the church leaders who also took their Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards
  and refused to return them.
  
  The clergy members locked their victims in their group homes with deadbolts, denying them the right to leave.

  also arrested Tuesday

  Later the victims were compelled to beg strangers on the street for
  money up to nine hours a day for six days a week.
  
  The church leaders used several coercion methods to keep their workforce in line. 
  
  Sometimes the IVM staffers simply refused to take their involuntary workers home.  Other times the victims
  were told their children would be taken away if they left or that their
  loved ones had rejected them and they had no where else
  to go - that 'only God' loved them.
  
  Anyone who got out of line could be denied food to eat, according
  to prosecutors.

  'This is the most significant labor trafficking prosecution in this district
  in many years,' U.S.
  
  Attorney Robert Brewer said in a written statement. 
  
  'The indictment alleges an appalling abuse of power by church
  officials who preyed on vulnerable homeless people with
  promises of a warm bed and meals. These victims were held captive, stripped of their
  humble financial means, their identification, their freedom and their
  dignity.'
  
  Former IVM Pastor Victor Gonzalez, 40, of Brownsville, Texas was among
