Two men were found guilty of non-citizen smuggling charges in federal court on Wednesday.
Jorge Muñoz-Muñoz and Roel Aranzubia-Alvarez were found guilty on multiple charges.
Law enforcement caught them on a panga boat off the coast of Santa Barbara County last September.
In the boat, officers found 45 pounds of meth and 11 undocumented non-citizens from Mexico.
Both men were found guilty of one count of conspiracy to bring non-citizens into the United States, 11 counts of smuggling undocumented immigrants, 11 counts of non-citizen smuggling for private financial gain, and one count of aiding and assisting an undocumented immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony to enter the United States.
Muñoz-Muñoz was also found guilty of several counts involving importing and distributing meth.
