Texas Border Patrol Discovers 20 Immigrants Hiding Under A Trailer Truck’s Floorboards
KEY POINTS
Three more migrants were found hiding inside a truck
The Border Patrol chief said these smuggling attempts can easily become dangerous
Border Patrol agents on Tuesday discovered 20 undocumented immigrants crammed inside a trailer during an inspection at a Texas checkpoint.
Chief Patrol Agent Austin Skero of the Del Rio Sector said in a tweet that 18 adults and two children, aged 10 and 15, were found trapped under the trailer floorboards. According to Skero, a police dog alerted the agents of the trailer’s hidden passengers.
Photos posted by the United States Border Patrol agent showed the undocumented immigrants lying down alongside each other with seemingly no more room to move.
