Alleged smuggler faces life in jail - El Paso Times

EL PASO -- The alleged leader of an immigrant-smuggling ring that used the Gateway Hotel as a safe house faces up to life in prison because an immigrant died during a border-crossing attempt in Downtown El Paso, the U.S. Attorney's Office said Thursday.

Maria Isidra Luna-Avila, also known as Doña Chila, is charged with alien smuggling resulting in death along with smuggling, conspiracy and other charges.

I think the name "Gateway Hotel" is very fitting. It served as their "gateway" to the high life on the American dime.
