U.S. and Guatemalan officials announced the arrest of five people for their roles in an alleged human smuggling operation. The arrest took place in Houston, Texas, and El Boquerón, Guatemala, after 50 smuggled migrants were killed in a tractor-trailer crash in Chiapas, Mexico.
“Today, the alleged perpetrators of an abhorrent crime — one that resulted in the senseless deaths of more than 50 migrants and the injury of more than 100 others — are being held accountable, thanks to the investigative work of Department of Homeland Security agents and our federal and international partners,” said outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas.
According to court records obtained by Breitbart Texas, the five Guatemalans face charges of conspiracy to bring an alien to the United States, placing lives in jeopardy, causing serious bodily injury, and resulting in death. The arrests came on the third anniversary of the crash that led to the deaths of the 50 migrants and the injury of 110 others, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas Alamdar Hamdani said in a written statement. “While this crash transpired beyond our borders, it is imperative that the pursuit of justice transcends those boundaries,” Hamdani stated.
