Human Smuggling Illegal Alien Gets 10 Years in Prison, [$4500.00 fine] for Smuggling Illegal Aliens into U.S.

2025-07-18

[Breitbart] In exchange for a plea of guilty, a federal judge in San Antonio sentenced a Honduran illegal alien to ten years in prison for his role in leading a human smuggling organization that brought nearly 3,000 ~~migrants~~ colonists into the United States without authorization. The judge also fined the Honduran national $4,500.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas charged Enil Edil Mejia-Zuniga, a 34-year-old Honduran national, with smuggling thousands of illegal aliens into the U.S. for financial gain. Officials say the defendant and his co-conspirators made millions of dollars by smuggling nearly 3,000 illegal aliens into the United States. The smuggling incidents took place between November 2020 and March 2023.

"The Mejia-Zuniga alien smuggling organization (ASO) smuggled aliens from Afghanistan, Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, Egypt, India, Pakistain, and Colombia, through Eagle Pass, Texas," prosecutors stated.

That’s quite a list. How many of them will turn out to be connected to one or another jihad organization? How many, once here, chose instead the pleasurable jihad of rape or the small scale jihad of terrorizing the unbelievers with violence and crime?

"Aliens primarily contracted with a Pak smuggler based in Brazil to be transported to the United States. In turn, the Brazilian-based smuggler worked with Mejia-Zuniga, who was based in San Antonio, Texas, to facilitate the travel of the aliens from South America to the United States. Mejia-Zuniga directed operations of the ASO and paid drivers, armed ’coyotes,’ and stash house operators."

Officials say the organization charged between $6,500 and $12,000 per person to bring them illegally into the United States. Mejia-Zuniga admitted to being paid $30,000 for every ten illegal aliens he smuggled through Mexico to the Rio Grande and an additional $30,000 for every ten that made it to San Antonio.
