11 indicted over Texas boxcar deaths of migrants
A federal grand jury indicted 11 people in a coordinated human-smuggling operation that resulted in the deaths of seven migrants found inside a sweltering boxcar on a freight train from Del Rio to San Antonio; they are charged with conspiracy to transport illegal aliens resulting in death and aiding and abetting transport of illegal aliens resulting in death, with potential life terms. The defendants include a mix of U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and non-U.S. citizens, and authorities say the organization operated since at least 2023, charging thousands in smuggling fees through the Del Rio/Laredo route.

About intermodal container
An intermodal container is a large standardized steel container designed and built to carry freight across different modes of transport – such as from ships to trains to trucks – without unloading and reloading their cargo. Intermodal containers are primarily used to store and transport materials and products efficiently and securely in the global containerized intermodal freight transport system, but smaller numbers are in regional use as well.
