Breitbart: Border Patrol agents in South Texas arrested a human smuggler who allegedly had nearly 80 illegal aliens locked inside a refrigerated tractor-trailer. The driver initially fled from the Border Patrol immigration checkpoint in an attempt to avoid arrest.
Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents assigned to the Interstate 35 checkpoint observed a refrigerated tractor-trailer approaching for inspection on August 11. While agents questioned the driver and his passenger about their citizenship status, a K-9 agent alerted to the possible presence of drug or human cargo in the truck’s trailer, according to information obtained by Breitbart Texas from Laredo Sector officials.
Agents directed the driver to a secondary inspection station. The driver allegedly refused to comply continued driving away from the checkpoint. A chase ensued and the driver eventually stopped a few miles down the road.
Officials said the agents opened the rear of the trailer and found 78 illegal aliens who the driver had allegedly locked inside. The agents evaluated the migrants and determined they were in good health despite being locked inside the cold conditions. more here
To the smuggler: that’s cold man!
“Questioning of the migrants revealed they came to the U.S. from Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, and Mexico.”
India? WTF?
Come here trying to avoid ICE and get locked into a refrigerated trailer. Karma!
78! Acts of Love. – Jeb!
Driver to passengers – Chill out guys
well with the heat wave we have had here the last couple of weeks–S Calif) it’s a good thing he had the cooler on 🙂 🙂 lol.
The refrigerated trailer option will cost you another $5k.
You are more likely to survive though! 🙂
Bad_Brad – yep, India too. They come the same way the Chinese do. Shipping containers, etc. Sometimes they get deported from the US, hide out in Mexico and Canada and then try again.
MJA
I guess I assumed Intel had already hired them all.
LOL^
Leave it to ICE to find a refrigerated smuggling truck!
Were they all on hooks?
What was the truck driver thinking or was he? Considering the large influx of immigrants these days, wouldn’t our border patrol agents open every truck coming into the USA?? Maybe its just me, I’d want every truck opened and checked. But then the Border Patrol is still part of the US government, what was I thinking??? Duh
