Extensive coordination and cooperation efforts between U.S. and Mexican law enforcement authorities culminated in the extradition of a human smuggler, who allegedly operated in Mexicali on the U.S.-Mexico border for several years as part of an international human smuggling conspiracy.
Ofelia Hernandez-Salas, 61, conspired with other smugglers to facilitate the travel of large numbers of illegal aliens from more than a dozen countries including Bangladesh, Yemen, Pakistan, Eritrea, India, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Russia, Egypt, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico.
She is scheduled to make her initial appearance in federal court later today in Phoenix, Arizona.
