Two more Guatemalan men have pleaded guilty in the United States to charges related to a human smuggling operation that resulted in a 2021 truck crash in southern Mexico, killing 55 migrants.
Jorge Agapito Ventura, 34, and Oswaldo Manuel Zavala Quino, 26, admitted in a Texas federal court on Wednesday that they conspired to smuggle adults and unaccompanied children from Guatemala north to the US. Both face up to life in prison when they are sentenced in October.
