EL PASO, Texas - Three members of an alien smuggling organization, who are allegedly linked to the drowning death of an illegal alien, are in federal custody after members of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Border Enforcement Security Task force (BEST) arrested them here last week.
Daniel Magallanes, 35, Eva Araceli Corral, 31, and Nicolas Martinez-Valdivia, 42, were arrested by the local BEST agents and officers. A fourth person, Alfonso Corral-Marrufo, 55, was also arrested in Mexico by local authorities. All four are charged with conspiracy to smuggle aliens resulting in death. They are all also named in a six-count indictment handed up by a federal grand jury May 21.
Magallanes and Eva Araceli Corral are named in all six counts:
conspiracy to smuggle aliens resulting in death; aid and abet bringing in aliens resulting in death; aid and abet smuggling aliens into the U.S. without authorization for financial gain; transporting aliens for financial gain; harboring aliens for financial gain; and encouraging and inducing the illegal entry of aliens for financial gain, resulting in death.

I wonder how much money the family of the illegal alien who drowned will sue us for.

Most likely, the ACLU or another anti-American group is already planning a multi-million dollar lawsuit.
