Smuggler jailed for 15 years for California crash that killed 13 migrants
California: A Mexican national who coordinated a human-smuggling operation that led to the deaths of 13 migrants in a 2021 highway crash near the Mexico-California border was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Thursday by a US federal judge.
Jose Cruz Noguez, 49, a permanent US resident from Mexicali, Mexico, received the sentence after pleading guilty in March in US District Court for Southern California to conspiracy to bring in undocumented migrants and bringing in undocumented migrants for financial gain.
