The victim died in Gael-Galicia and Tercero-Gonzalez\u2019s trailer, which also housed additional illegal immigrants. The defendants admitted on Thursday that they &#8220;operated a prolific alien smuggling organization and were responsible for the transportation of the migrant who died.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The case comes as the U.S.-Mexico border under President Joe Biden faces an unprecedented crisis. Two million migrants illegally crossed into the United States in this fiscal year, the Washington Free Beacon\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/arrests-at-southern-border-reach-record-two-million\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>. Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden tasked with handling the crisis, has been to the border only once, with Democratic congressman Henry Cuellar <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/kamala-finally-goes-to-the-border-in-korea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">saying<\/a> that &#8220;it doesn\u2019t look like she\u2019s very interested in&#8221; the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The case is connected to the indictments of other human smugglers who &#8220;facilitate the travel of large numbers of migrants from Guatemala through Mexico, and ultimately, to the United States, charging the migrants and their families approximately $10,000 to $12,000 for the perilous journey,&#8221; the Justice Department said. Guatemalan authorities have arrested the other smugglers and are preparing to send them for trial in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Guatemalan men who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and led across other migrants pleaded guilty on Thursday in federal court to a conspiracy that resulted in the death of one migrant, the Department of Justice announced.<br \/>\nThe post Illegal Immigrants Plead Guilty to Smuggling Conspiracy That Killed Woman in Texas appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":162,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1666959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/162"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1666959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1666959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1666959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1666959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
