Mayra Huerta was arrested and charged in a federal human smuggling investigation after authorities found multiple migrants living at her Del Rio, Texas, property.
The incident unfolded with the following details:
- The Arrest: Federal prosecutors stated that Huerta was harboring her husband, his son, and his nephew—all of whom were Mexican nationals living in the U.S. illegally.
- Deadly Smuggling Link: The home was tied to a human smuggling operation that followed a deadly incident where six migrants were found dead inside a freight train car in Laredo, Texas, with a seventh body found nearby along the tracks in Bexar County.
- Charges: Huerta was charged with harboring undocumented immigrants. She waived her detention hearing and pleaded guilty to the charges.
