2 Filipinas 'rescued' from Saudi diplomat's home in Virginia

NEW YORK -- A case of possible human trafficking involving two Philippine nationals at a Saudi diplomats home in Virginia is under investigation according to Homeland Security.

The Philippine Embassy in Washington told Balitang America that two unnamed Filipina workers are now under protective custody, after US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations and Fairfax County Police were called to a home in Mclean, Virgina and reportedly rescued the two Filipinas.

NBC Washington reported that real estate records show that the compound is owned by the Kingdom of Saudi.

A bystander who works for the Embassy also confirmed to NBC that the home owners work for the Saudi Embassy.

If needed and requested, the Philippine Embassy said that the Philippine government will extend assistance to the two Filipinas who may be potential victims of human trafficking.

As the investigation continues, it may potentially be complicated by the possibility that some of those involved may have diplomatic immunity.
