Guatemala Arrests Key Suspect in 2022 Texas Migrant Tragedy

Rigoberto Ramón Miranda-Orozco faces extradition to the US for his role in the deaths of 53 migrants found in a trailer.

Seven suspects, including Miranda-Orozco, were detained in Guatemala following coordinated raids.
The Justice Department has charged Miranda-Orozco with six counts of migrant smuggling resulting in death or serious injury.
The 2022 incident is one of the deadliest human smuggling cases in US history, involving migrants from Central America and Mexico.
Authorities allege the smugglers charged migrants up to $15,000 each for the perilous journey.
US and Guatemalan officials continue to dismantle the smuggling network, with 14 people arrested so far.
