Four Guatemalan nationals have been charged with conspiring with others to smuggle “large numbers” of illegal aliens into the United States, including one woman who died during the journey and was dumped on the side of a road.

Felipe Diego Alonzo, 38; Nesly Norberto Martinez Gomez, 37; Lopez Mateo Mateo, 42; and Juan Gutierrez Castro, 45, were apprehended in Guatemala on Aug. 2 and extradited to the United States at the request of U.S. officials, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Fifteen other individuals were also arrested during the multi-city sweep.
