Two men found guilty in deaths of 53 migrants in Texas will spend rest of their lives in prison
Two men face spending the rest of their lives in prison after a federal judge sentenced them on Friday for their roles in the deaths of 53 people – including six children – who were found dead in an abandoned tractor-trailer in Texas in 2022. A federal jury in Texas had found the two men, Felipe Orduna-Torres and Armando Gonzales-Garcia, guilty of various charges at the conclusion of a trial in March. Federal judge Orlando Garcia sentenced Torres to life in prison and Ortega to 83 years of incarceration, essentially a life sentence. The judge also imposed a $250,000 fine on each of the defendants. Five other men have also pleaded guilty for their role in the smuggling operation and are scheduled to be sentenced later. The truck was holding 64 migrants from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. The vehicle had a broken air conditioner and no water, which amounted to suffocating conditions in the Texas summer. Only 11 of those who were in the tractor-truck survived an ordeal that grimly illustrated the risks migrants are willing to take to cross the US border in order to escape violence or financial turmoil in their countries. The migrants had paid the smugglers between $12,000 to $15,000 each to be taken across the US border, according to the case's indictment. They were placed in the vehicle in Laredo, a town at the border, and then headed to San Antonio, which is a three-hour drive away. As temperatures rose inside the truck, the people inside screamed and banged on the walls. Many eventually passed out. When the truck was found on 27 June 2022, more than a dozen of them were taken to the hospital, where five more died. The men had known the air conditioning in the truck was broken, according to prosecutors. And they had discovered dozens of the people inside had died when they opened the back of the truck at the end of the three-hour trip. 'Three years to the day after these two smugglers and their co-conspirators left dozens of men, women and children locked in a sweltering tractor-trailer to die in the Texas summer heat, they learned that they will spend the rest of their lives locked away in a federal prison,' said a statement from the US attorney for the western district of Texas, Justin Simmons. Prosecutors said that Orduna-Torres was the leader of a group of men who smuggled people from Mexico and South America between December 2021 and June 2022. He and Gonzales-Garcia shared routes, vehicles, stash houses and transporters to 'consolidate costs, minimize risks and maximize profit', according to a statement from the justice department. Migrant smuggling has become a multibillion-dollar industry that is often run in coordination with some of Mexico's most violent cartels. While the number of migrants apprehended at the border has dropped since Donald Trump's second presidency began in January, reports have said people are still being smuggled into the US through methods and routes that are even more dangerous.

Pam Bondi fires three DOJ prosecutors who were involved in prosecuting January 6 rioters, report says
The Department of Justice has reportedly fired at least three career prosecutors who worked on cases against January 6 rioters. The prosecutors included two supervisors who oversaw the sweeping DOJ case against the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol in early 2021, as well as a third attorney, the Associated Press reports. The attorneys were fired on Friday in a letter signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi informing them they were 'removed from federal service effective immediately,' NBC News reports. The Independent has contacted the Justice Department for comment. The reported firings come after the administration axed about a dozen lower-level DOJ officials who worked on the January 6 cases, and pardoned more than 1,500 people convicted in Capitol riot cases, including violent offenders. Separately, earlier this year, the administration removed more than a dozen prosecutors involved in prior criminal investigations into Donald Trump, including several who worked for Jack Smith, the special counsel bringing a now-dismissed election subversion case against the Republican. 'You played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump,' a letter to these officials, obtained by CNN, said. The White House has also sought to penalize law firms tied to perceived opponents of the president, including Smith and prominent Democrats, attempting to strip their security clearances and punish federal contractors that did business with them. On the campaign trail, Trump referred to the mob that stormed the Capitol to overturn the certification of his 2020 election loss, injuring about 150 police officers in a riot that ultimately led to at least seven deaths, as ' hostages.' The January 6 case was the largest in Justice Department history, netting over 1,500 convictions and requiring scores of federal attorneys, many of whom remain with the government. Despite erasing this prosecution against mass disturbance from the books, since taking office, the Trump administration has sought a firm response to civil unrest targeting his policies, deploying federal agents, Marines, and the National Guard for a nearly unprecedented civil law enforcement role in response to Los Angeles protests against immigration raids.

Starbucks customer left horrified after barista writes 'illegal' joke on her cup
A Starbucks customer was left horrified after a barista allegedly wrote a 'racist joke' on her coffee cup. Blanca Lopez, who is Hispanic, said she visited the Starbucks inside a Target store in Irving, Texas, with her two daughters when she was handed her horchata latte with a shocking message scrawled on the lid. It read: 'What do you call a sick eagle? Illegal.' Lopez, who is an immigrant, said the so-called joke wasn't funny and that it felt like a direct attack. 'And when I read it, I'm like, OK. Was I supposed to laugh or what do I need to do?' she told CBS News. The mother-of-two said the remark hit especially hard given her community's ongoing struggles with immigration enforcement and recent deportations involving people close to her. 'Why did they call me that? Why are they asking if I have papers or no papers? Why did she write this?' Lopez said. 'For me, like, it's offensive.' 'Basically saying we don't belong.' Horrified, she immediately showed the cup to a store manager. 'I showed them the cup and they said, "Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I apologize and I'm going to talk to the team so they don't do it again,"' she recalled. But days later, Lopez said she is still waiting for a formal apology from Starbucks - and she's held onto the cup as proof. 'It's basically saying that we are sick, illegal individuals that do not belong in this country,' she said. Hispanic community leader Carlos Quintanilla, who runs immigrant rights group Accion America, has organized a protest outside the store set for Saturday, June 28. 'It's not just inappropriate, it's disturbing,' Quintanilla told CBS. 'Especially right now, when the narrative being thrown out in mass media is if you're illegal, you're a criminal, and if you're a criminal, you're illegal.' Both Starbucks and Target say they're investigating. 'We want everyone in our stores to be treated with courtesy and respect; we apologize and are actively investigating and addressing this,' Target said in a statement. Starbucks added it has a 'zero-tolerance policy for discriminatory behavior' but has not confirmed if the employee responsible will face disciplinary action. Lopez, meanwhile, said that an apology isn't enough. 'I work as a manager. If someone on my team did something like that, I would fire her immediately,' she said - adding that jokes like this have a lasting impact on vulnerable immigrant families. 'Words matter,' she said. This comes as President Donald Trump ramps up deportation efforts during his second term, reviving and expanding hardline policies from his first presidency. The administration's new initiative, Project Homecoming, offers undocumented immigrants $1,000 and a free flight to self-deport - a program officials say will save money and streamline removals. The first flight carrying 64 migrants left earlier this month. 'This is about restoring order,' Trump said at a May 2025 rally in Phoenix. 'If you're here illegally, it's time to go home - and we'll even pay for it.' However, those who refuse to leave may face wage garnishment, property seizures, and permanent reentry bans, according to the Financial Times. In addition, Trump has proposed hiring 20,000 new ICE officers, tripling the size of the agency in what he calls the largest deportation operation in American history.
