Fifty-three people never made it out.
This is the cost of human smuggling. Every smuggling operation we stop is a chance to prevent another tragedy like this.
🚨 The Guatemalan national who was extradited to the United States has been SENTENCED to 30 years in prison for his involvement in the 2022 Mass casualty alien smuggling event in San Antonio, Texas.
"These smugglers value profits over people, and their disregard of the risks or dangerous conditions in which they carry out their schemes too often result in tragic consequences like in this case with 53 people dead. Under @POTUS Trump, @DOJCrimDiv and Joint Task Force Alpha (JTFA) will sustain maximum pressure on these dangerous criminals to hold them accountable for preventable tragedies and protect our borders.” -@AAGDuva
