human smuggling

Recounts the case of twenty-six men who attempted to cross the Mexican border into the desert of southern Arizona through a region called Devil's Highway and were betrayed by a smuggler.

U.S. Government Agent Hipolito Acosta worked in high stakes undercover operations infiltrating Mexico's immigrant smuggling rings and drug cartels. For thirty years his work regularly made headlines but his book goes beyond the headlines and shows what an agent has to endure in order to make sure U.S. law is enforced.

Examines the issues of human trafficking and smuggling and the women and children who fall prey to it, including the strategies and methods used by various groups to bring individuals into the United States, and what the government is doing to combat these activities.
