10 charged in US-Mexico human smuggling
A human smuggling ring that charged thousands of dollars to move people across the Mexico-US border and into New York City and other locations has been exposed with charges against 10 defendants.
Six defendants arrested in Texas and another arrested in Brooklyn were held for initial appearances in federal courts on charges they conspired to accept money to take people across the border and relocate them in the United States.
Three defendants remain fugitives.
Prosecutors said the smuggling scheme operated from June 2015 until last month.
Those arrested in Texas had residences in San Antonio, Laredo, McAllen and Round Rock.
