GOLIAD, Texas—Three stash house operators, a raft guide, two walking guides, a bush hiking guide, a taxi driver, and at least three other drivers were coordinated to smuggle Martin Lazaro Bieya to Houston—his first major city after running the gauntlet through U.S. Border Patrol and law enforcement—from Reynosa, Mexico.

His final goal was Detroit, where he said an uncle had a job lined up for him.
