Federal prosecutors announced charges Tuesday against four Mexicans who they say helped orchestrate the smuggling tragedy last year that killed 53 illegal immigrants trapped in a semitrailer on a 100-degree Texas afternoon.
Authorities announced the charges on the anniversary of the tragedy and promised to run down the smuggling ring.“Nothing has changed. Tomorrow, as we hit the summer months, we could have another tractor-trailer full of dead migrants and nobody would be surprised,” saidHe said the cartels continue dominating the border by deciding tactics and procedures and forcing the U.S. to react.
Prosecutors said the migrants paid $12,000 to $15,000 apiece to be smuggled into the U.S. It came with a three-time guarantee: If they were caught and sent back across the border, they could try again without paying more. Smuggling resulting in death carries a potential sentence of death, but the Justice Department announced Tuesday that it would not seek execution in these cases. The department previously said it wouldn’t seek the death penalty for Mr. Zamorano and Mr. Martinez.
