The U.S. announced sanctions on a Mexico-based migrant-trafficking gang that supplied asylum seekers with false papers to game the process.
L.A. officials are calling for a federal investigation into whether Texas Gov. Greg Abbott committed crimes -- such as human trafficking -- when he bused asylum seekers more than 1,000 miles with no food or water.The United States Treasury on Friday announced sanctions on a Mexico-based migrant-trafficking gang that supplied asylum seekers with false papers to game the process.
Since at least 2018, the gang organized travel by migrants from "countries posing national security concerns," the Treasury statement said, though it did not specify what countries those were. The Treasury said in a statement that the criminal scheme hurts those who really need asylum protection. The gang is allegedly run by a woman, Ofelia Hernández Salas, with links to the Sinaloa drug cartel. The sanctions also applied to four associates and two hotels used to house migrants. Hernández Salas is under arrest in Mexico and is awaiting extradition to face U.S. charges.
