Eleven people are facing federal charges after a chilling human smuggling operation that ended in the deaths of seven migrants packed into a sealed shipping container — temperatures soaring as high as 90 degrees, no air, no escape. The plot spanned over a year, charging migrants up to $10,000 for a deadly ride on cargo trains from Del Rio to San Antonio. When the container was finally opened, smugglers fled — leaving victims to die, some found days later by railroad workers. One migrant even sent a desperate final message for help. All eleven are charged with conspiracy to transport illegal aliens resulting in death — carrying the threat of life in prison. Two, Karina Garcia and Seferino Huerta-Casillas, remain at large.
