Jason De León, a UCLA College professor and director of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, recently spoke with CNN about his work shadowing human smugglers in the Mexican state of Chiapas, why Mexico is becoming more dangerous for migrants and more. www.cnn.com/2025/01/04/u...
He spent years shadowing smugglers in Mexico. This is what he learned | CNN
Jason De León spent seven years shadowing smugglers who guide migrants through Mexico to the US. Their work, he argues, is dangerous and far more complicated than typical media portrayals suggest.
