Six Guatemalans have been charged in the United States for human smuggling related to a tragic accident in 2021 in Mexico, where a truck carrying over 160 migrants crashed, resulting in more than fifty fatalities. The suspects are alleged to be part of a criminal organization facilitating the transport of migrants from Guatemala to the U.S. Despite the dangers, migrants paid substantial fees for the journey. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas highlighted the relentless cruelty of human smugglers, urging migrants to avoid putting their lives in their hands.
