The Perfect Recruits: How US Marines led a Massive Human Smuggling Ring
About this episode
With their closely trimmed hair, clean-cut look, and Marine Corps stickers on their cars, young Marines made the perfect smugglers precisely because no one would ever suspect them. It’s a billion dollar business that many Americans are a part of. Emily Green takes us inside a Marine-led smuggling ring, and how it fell apart.
This episode was reported by Vice News senior reporter Emily Green and produced by Jen Kinney and Ashley Cleek. Check out Emily’s article here.
