一名联邦法官于周二对一名被引渡至美国的危地马拉男子进行了判决，该男子因参与2022年的一起人口走私未遂事件而被判刑。当年，53名被塞进得克萨斯州一辆闷热拖挂式卡车内的移民不幸身亡。
A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a Guatemalan man extradited to the US over his role in a 2022 human smuggling attempt that ended in the deaths of 53 migrants who had been transported in a sweltering tractor-trailer in Texas.
美国和危地马拉检察官称，里戈韦托·罗曼·米兰达-奥罗斯科（Rigoberto Román Miranda-Orozco）被判刑是美墨边境最致命的走私未遂案之一迈向正义的又一步。39岁的米兰达-奥罗斯科承认曾为两名死亡人员和一名重伤人员安排行程和食宿，被判处30年监禁。
US and Guatemalan prosecutors called Rigoberto Román Miranda-Orozco’s sentencing another step toward justice in one of the deadliest smuggling attempts along the US-Mexico border. Miranda-Orozco, 39, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after admitting to arranging travel and accommodations for two people who died and another who was seriously injured.
自这辆装满遗体的被弃拖车被发现以来，美国和危地马拉已有近20人被定罪。这一惨剧震惊了那些习惯于看到年轻人离开家乡、试图逃离中美洲和墨西哥贫困或暴力的社区。
Nearly 20 people in the US and Guatemala have been convicted since the discovery of the abandoned trailer full of bodies horrified communities accustomed to seeing their young people leave, trying to flee poverty or violence in Central America and Mexico.
美国检察官贾斯廷·西蒙斯（Justin Simmons）在宣判后的新闻发布会上对记者表示：“很显然，他们在人世间的最后几个小时里承受了巨大的痛苦。”
“It was clear that they suffered tremendously in their last few hours on this earth,” US Attorney Justin Simmons told reporters at a news conference following the sentencing.
当局表示，2022年6月，这辆卡车从边境城市拉雷多开往圣安东尼奥，历时三小时，车内闷热异常。期间，拖车的空调发生故障，无法向被困在里面的人吹送冷风。检察官此前表示，移民支付了高达1.5万美元的费用以被带过美国边境。
The trailer’s air conditioning malfunctioned and would not blow cool air to the people trapped inside during the sweltering, three-hour ride in June 2022 from the border city of Laredo to San Antonio, authorities said. Prosecutors have said migrants paid up to $15,000 each to be taken across the US border.
当这辆被弃的拖车在圣安东尼奥的一条偏僻小路上被打开时，车内已有48名移民死亡。另有16人被送往医院，其中5人在院 A不治身亡。
When the abandoned trailer was opened on a remote San Antonio back road, 48 migrants were dead. Another 16 were taken to hospitals, where five more died.
西蒙斯表示，调查人员在车内发现了乘客为降温而脱下的衣服，以及拖车壁上的抓痕。他说：“他们当时简直是在试图抓挠车壁逃生。”西蒙斯说，死者中有21人来自危地马拉。
Simmons said investigators found clothing passengers had shed to cool off and claw marks on the trailer’s walls. “They were literally trying to claw their way out,” he said. Twenty-one of those who died were from Guatemala, Simmons said.
美国地区法官奥兰多·加西亚（Orlando Garcia）对米兰达-奥罗斯科作出了判决。米兰达-奥罗斯科于2024年在危地马拉被捕，并于次年被引渡至美国。
检察官表示，他在7月对串谋走私移民入境美国致人死亡、协助和教唆走私移民入境美国致人死亡，以及协助和教唆走私移民入境美国致人重伤的罪名认罪。
US District Judge Orlando Garcia sentenced Miranda-Orozco, who was arrested in Guatemala in 2024 and extradited to the US the following year. He pleaded guilty in July to conspiracy to bring a migrant into the US resulting in death, aiding and abetting bringing a migrant into the US resulting in death, as well as aiding and abetting bringing a migrant into the US resulting in serious bodily injury, prosecutors said.
西蒙斯表示，危地马拉检察官在将米兰达-奥罗斯科等人定罪方面发挥了不可或缺的作用。危地马拉检察官加布里埃尔·加西亚·卢纳（Gabriel García Luna）出席了周二在得克萨斯州举行的新闻发布会。
Simmons said prosecutors in Guatemala were integral in securing convictions for Miranda Orozco and others. Guatemalan Attorney Gabriel García Luna attended Tuesday’s news conference in Texas.
去年，被检察官描述为美国境内走私团伙头目的费利佩·奥尔杜纳-托雷斯（Felipe Orduna-Torres）在美国被判处终身监禁。他的头号助手阿尔曼多·冈萨雷斯-奥尔特加（Armando Gonzales-Ortega）被判处83年监禁。包括卡车司机在内的更多人员的宣判日期已经确定。
Last year, Felipe Orduna-Torres, described by prosecutors as the leader of the smuggling operations inside the US, was sentenced to life in prison in the US. Armando Gonzales-Ortega, his top assistant, was sentenced to 83 years. Sentencing dates have been set for more people, including the truck’s driver.
在近几十年来人们试图从墨西哥越过美国边境而丧生的数千名遇难者中，这起悲剧是最致命的一起。2017年，有10名移民被困在停于圣安东尼奥一家沃尔玛超市的卡车内身亡。
The tragedy is the deadliest among those that have claimed thousands of lives in recent decades as people attempt to cross the U.S. border from Mexico. Ten migrants died in 2017 after they were trapped inside a truck parked at a Walmart in San Antonio.
2003年，人们在圣安东尼奥东南部一辆闷热的卡车里发现了19名移民的遗体。
In 2003, the bodies of 19 migrants were found in a sweltering truck southeast of San Antonio.
