Five members of the notorious international criminal organization known as the Rendon-Reyes Trafficking Organization were sentenced to prison last week—their sentences ranged from 15 to 25 years.

The men, all from Mexico, with some residing illegally in the United States, previously pleaded guilty to racketeering, sex trafficking, and other federal charges, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). They were apprehended in both Mexico and the United States.
