“These sentences reflect the serious consequences that await those who participate in human smuggling and are at risk,” said Craig Larabi, a special agent for internal security in San Antonio.

Larabi said that “the members of the Tango gang are wet an endless life during these reckless endeavors,” and that “through strong cooperation with federal and state law enforcement partners, we are still committed to the dismantling of violent criminal organizations and the protection of our societies.”
