Show Notes
52-year-old Guatemalan man, Turko, pleads guilty to immigrant smuggling and hostage taking, facing life in prison. He operated a ring for over a decade, charging up to $18,000 per person, holding them in stash houses until payment. A deadly crash in Oklahoma in 2023 resulted in seven fatalities, including three minors and a four-year-old. Two associates face trial in April, while another remains a fugitive.
