According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Cabrera-Rodriguez conspired with others to operate an alien smuggling organization. The organization encouraged thousands of Cuban aliens to enter the United States through the southern border.

Court evidence also said the smugglers charged between $1,500 and $40,000 for their services. Co-conspirators sometimes chartered private planes to transport groups of aliens.

The verdict establishes criminal liability for Cabrera-Rodriguez's role in the smuggling network and the related laundering conspiracy.
