U.S. and Guatemalan authorities say they have dismantled a human smuggling enterprise in Guatemala responsible for the deaths of 53 migrants in a tractor-trailer in San Antonio in 2022.
Authorities arrested four Mexican nationals in connection with the deaths of 53 migrants found abandoned last year in a locked tractor-trailer.
