VIDEO:  Remembering the Victoria 19
 
 
May 14 marked the five-year anniversary of one of the worst human smuggling cases in U.S. history. Victoria, Texas, a small city about 120 miles south of Houston, received the national spotlight when 19 out of 73 immigrants were found dead in the back of a tractor trailer.
