Authorities said the base sits along a well-traversed route used by migrant smugglers. Interstate 5 leading to Los Angeles runs through part of the base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials from 1st Marine Division worked alongside the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in the investigation that started after the July 3 arrests of two Marines, who were charged in federal court with migrant smuggling. Both pleaded not guilty to the charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A U.S. Border Patrol agent stopped Lance Cpl. Byron Darnell Law II and Lance Cpl. David Javier Salazar-Quintero about 7 miles north of the border after being alerted by other agents that a vehicle similar to theirs was suspected of picking up migrants who came into the country illegally, according to the federal complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Most of that money comes from the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not the first time Trump has floated the idea of targeting remittances.

This would be a far broader use of the travel ban authority that we’ve seen by any prior president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. sources familiar with the administration’s plans to take action against Guatemala caution that nothing is final until Trump signs the paperwork. But they say the plans show Trump’s comments were not just a mere threat after Guatemala backed out of the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not like a gleam in anyone’s eyes.

In 2010, 72 migrants were massacred in the town of San Fernando.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterrey they found a big, unfamiliar city where, unbeknownst to them, shelters were already overflowing, and it quickly became clear they’d have to make do as best they could.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some asked the bus driver for advice on where to go. Others asked locals to borrow cellphones to beseech relatives for money or call their “coyotes,” or smugglers, to try to cross illegally again into the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have abandoned us here to get rid of us,” said Jazmin Desir, sitting on the floor of the bus terminal surrounded by her four sleeping children. The hair stylist and her husband, a mechanic, were waiting for relatives to send money for them to get back to Honduras, which they figured would take two years to pay off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within a half-hour only a handful remained at the terminal. The rest had melted away into the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two days later, with money wired from relatives, a group hired a bus to take them to the southern city of Tapachula, near Guatemala.
