Five Guatemalan nationals have been charged in the United States in connection with a 2021 truck crash in Chiapas, Mexico, where 56 migrants were killed and over 100 others were injured. The arrests were made in a joint operation involving U.S. and Guatemalan authorities on the third anniversary of the tragedy.
Those accused are part of a human smuggling network called "Los Quinos" that allegedly facilitated the transit of migrants through Central America and Mexico. The network is accused of profiting from smuggling migrants, earning significant sums by exploiting vulnerable individuals.
