The FBI is investigating a human trafficking and health care scheme as Native Americans trying to get sober are allegedly being recruited into living at group homes that allow drug and alcohol use. In turn, the 'home' capitalizes on the patients’ benefits.

Preying on a People is a three-part investigative series. All three parts will be added to this report as they air.

"Cindy" and "Monica" say dozens of behavioral group homes have popped up in the neighborhood. They are among the residents who are fed up, and want to remain anonymous.Since then, they say it’s normal to see people passed out in driveways and porch fronts. "Well, for example, if I opened a legitimate facility, and then I asked you to bring patients to me, I could pay you to bring those patients to me, but that’s kickback and that’s illegal. That’s health care fraud," Ferrari explained.The bad actors aren’t providing the therapy services they’re supposed to, yet millions of dollars are being paid out through health care funding, Ferrari says.Last September, Phoenix Police investigated a death in the neighborhood.

The toxicology report reveals his blood alcohol content was .541, nearly seven times the legal limit.

Ask any police officer who has to respond to these homes. It’s a fact this is happening.

It has been hidden abuse for years

This is happening in our neighborhood, we have been trying to get help shutting them down with little success so far

Exploit of the Natives again by the Left.Dont take the blankets!!!

I guess they got a government contract…

How low can humanity sink? Good God.

How are these homes able to capitalize on our Native people without a tracking system in billing? This would prevent MMIW and track progress of the homes.
