Federal authorities in Los Angeles have announced arrests in connection to one of the largest human smuggling rings in the United States. We've taken three people into custody, but one is still on the run. Over a five-year period, this organization smuggled over 20,000 illegal immigrants from Guatemala through Mexico into the US, charging $15,000 to $18,000 per person.
The four individuals indicted are not only accused of smuggling, but also heinous crimes against undocumented immigrants, showing a callous disregard for both immigration laws and the people they smuggled. One smuggling operation resulted in a car accident in Oklahoma, leading to the deaths of seven people, including children. The ringleader, Eduardo Domingo Renoho Matul, along with Cristobal Mahia Cha and Jose Paxter Islamha, are in custody, while the search continues for Helmer Abisbo Hernandez.
