Among the accused are leaders and coordinators of immigrant trafficking organizations from Mexico and Colombia.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the final figures for 2024 on Monday, highlighting that the highest number of charges occurred in the last quarter.

In total, during 2024, the DOJ filed criminal charges against 10,506 foreigners for entering or returning to the U.S.

This, after being deported irregularly via the Arizona border.

Context of tension

According to this agency, the charges are part of President Joe Biden’s efforts to combat irregular immigration.

This process sets a criminal record in the file of foreigners, making them ineligible to return legally to the country in the future.

During 2024, the DOJ also filed charges in Arizona against 1,235 individuals accused of human trafficking.

This includes minors and young people, mostly U.S. citizens recruited to transport undocumented immigrants.

A historic event

Migrants being processed face sentences ranging from days to years in prison, depending on the case.

The charges were made possible through investigations and collaboration between the Tucson Border Patrol Sector and the Yuma Sector.

Along with other federal agencies, a press release indicated.
