Eleven charged in Texas migrant smuggling case
Eleven individuals, including four from the U.S. and seven from Mexico, Honduras, or Guatemala, have been indicted for allegedly running a human smuggling operation that led to the deaths of seven migrants in Texas. The victims, found inside a shipping container in May, included a 14-year-old, and they died due to the extreme heat and inability to escape. The organization reportedly used cargo trains to transport migrants further into the U.S., charging between $1,500 and $10,000 each. Nine of the accused have been arrested, and they face federal charges that could result in life imprisonment.
