EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - Attorneys for the Mexicali man accused of coordinating a human smuggling run that ended with more than a dozen deaths say they need more time.
47-year-old Jose Cruz Noguez faced a federal judge by video Tuesday morning in the El Centro Federal Courthouse.
Noguez faces multiple charges of conspiracy to transport illegal migrants causing serious bodily harm, and with human smuggling for financial gain.
Prosecutors say Noguez planned and coordinated a March 2nd smuggling run that brought more than 40 undocumented migrants across the border.
