“AUSTIN — A lucrative and long-running human smuggling operation that brought hundreds of undocumented immigrants into the United States, often crammed into semi-truck trailers or sealed inside wooden crates, was “disrupted and dismantled” by a federal immigration task force, a newly unsealed indictment from South Texas shows.

The indictment handed up by the federal court in Laredo on Aug. 9 details a multiyear and multimillion-dollar operation involving at least eight defendants and describes migrants being brought into the country after being hidden inside several sorts of vehicles or containers disguised as ordinary cargo with little regard for their safety or comfort.”
