snakehead
Human trafficking organizer
A snakehead is a freshwater fish native to Asia and Africa, named for its flattened head and long body.
Snakeheads are aggressive predators; some species have become invasive in North American waters, where they outcompete native fish.
Separately, a snakehead is a person who smuggles immigrants, especially from China: They paid a snakehead thousands to get them across the border.
