Rigoberto Miranda

Rigoberto Miranda, a 48-year-old individual from Guatemala, has been extradited to the United States to face charges related to his alleged role as a leader of a human trafficking organization known as 'Los Orozcos.' He is implicated in the tragic deaths of 53 migrants who perished in a sweltering trailer in Texas in June 2022, primarily due to hyperthermia and dehydration. Following his capture by Guatemalan authorities in August 2023, Miranda was handed over to U.S. authorities after a court approved his extradition. The case has drawn significant attention due to the horrifying circumstances surrounding the migrants' deaths.
