Immigrants Found After Several Days of Searching

One issue on the public agenda has raised a few eyebrows. 13 Salvadoran Immigrants went missing in Southern California and were found alive and unhurt. The women were furious that they were subjects of an ongoing search. 37. 8 kids between the ages of 3-17 were also with the women. Steve Whitmore, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, said that the married women informed their husbands of their routine late night prayer services in the park and their husbands should not have made police reports. One husband said his wife was part of a "cult-like group" and their leader, Reyna Marisol Chicas, had brain washed his wife. The same man found letters in his wife's purse that were suspicious suicide notes. I believe the structure of this is a moral judgement because the women were only praying. The notes found could have been misinterpreted and the dramatic action was uncalled for. I understand its better to be cautious, but how cautious can one be when women are conducting a "cult-like" prayer group.
