Bond is being denied for one of the suspects in the death of more than 50 migrants inside a tractor-trailer near San Antonio this summer. A federal judge rejected a request by Christian "Gordo" Martinez that would have given him home confinement. Defense attorneys say Martinez needs to be home because he weighs around 670 pounds and broke his ankle during a recent fall in lockup. Prosecutors say Martinez acted as a middleman in human smuggling cases. Authorities found 53 bodies of migrants stuffed inside a sweltering 18-wheeler in San Antonio in June.
