SAN ANTONIO — One of the undocumented immigrants who died in a stifling tractor-trailer here this weekend was a 19-year-old who lived in the United States and graduated from high school in Northern Virginia before apparently being deported to his native Guatemala, according to interviews with government officials and postings on social media.
Frank G. Fuentes was one of at least three Guatemalan nationals on a truck packed with undocumented immigrants and driven by James Matthew Bradley Jr., said Cristy Andrino, the consul of Guatemala in McAllen, Tex. Fuentes previously had lived in Virginia, Andrino said.
The Guatemalan government said Fuentes, who was initially described as 20-years-old, died of “heat exposure and asphyxiation.” Bradley has been charged with smuggling immigrants for financial gain resulting in death.
(Snip to the money quote, seven paragraphs down)
Fuentes lost (DACA) protection after committing crimes in the United States and was deported to Guatemala City, Barillas told Univision on Monday. He was attempting to reunite with family members in the Washington area, Barillas said.

If they find a pile of cash in this guy’s house or if he deposited it.......
No one deserves to die like that but I’d make am exception for the guy who was the driver and the smuggler.
Yeah, I hope they have solid proof he’s guilty and not picking a convenient guy.
If he did it, yeah, I’m with you.
I haven’t looked at the details of this thing. I hope they catch more involved, though many are probably south of the border; if not the rest of them.
” He was attempting to reunite with family members in the Washington area, Barillas said.”
ILLEGALLY reunite - They forgot to state it accurately
The funny thing is, he wasn't even an undocumented immigrant. He was very well documented, it turns out.
Who was/is running this smuggling ring? The driver of the
truck, the seller of the trailer, or someone else?
Wait, wait, wait. Am I to be SAD that a law-breaker died upon FURTHER breaking the law?? BWAhahahaha.
19yrs old wasn’t living on his OWN, going to school on his OWN....where’s the follow-up? The follow-through to find, arrest and deport the others??
Hey, VA taxpayers, here’s why your school(s) are under-funded, hospitals overrun (you still get shafted w/ the bill)...govt KNEW and allowed the criminal to wreak havoc in the community.
THEM, the illegal, the criminal...over YOU.
Confiscate the truck, jail the driver, investigate the company, and start putting people in jail.
He committed another crime sneaking back in.
Boo f'n hoo.
No sympathy. Had they stayed home, they would still be alive.
The State Department should be distributing the details of this event in Meh-e-coh and the other Central and South American countries. “Pay your $5,000 - $10,000 to your Coyote and end up as a Hot Tamale like these folks”!
bttt.
Sorry,
I do not give a damn.
Come to America legally.
Or the devil with ya.

Did these three idiots thing we’d really care?
(What on earth is a Moriah Balingit and a Fenit Nirappil?)

They are trying to turn this into like when the little boy washed up on the beach in Turkey to gain sympathy.
He had an unearned gift from Obama but screwed it up himself.
He should have stayed in Guatemala City.
Everyone knows that sneaking into the US is fraught with danger.
Case closed.
“They are trying to turn this into like when the little boy washed up on the beach in Turkey to gain sympathy.”
Well it won’t work———we are all in full compassion fatigue as far as these invaders are concerned.
