On December 9, 2021, a tragic accident occurred when a truck carrying over 160 migrants overturned due to speeding near Tuxtla Gutierrez, resulting in over 50 deaths.
U.S. and Guatemalan officials arrested six individuals on Monday, three years after the deadly accident, in a significant crackdown on human smuggling operations.
The arrests primarily target those who allegedly conspired to smuggle undocumented migrants into the U.S., highlighting ongoing issues related to human trafficking and migration safety.
The indicted individuals face severe charges, including conspiracy to bring undocumented migrants into the U.S. while placing them in life-threatening situations.
