Border Patrol agents in Texas find 74 illegal immigrants smuggled in trailers


Border agents in Texas discovered 74 illegal immigrants being smuggled into the U.S. inside travel trailers on Monday, sharing X-Ray images of migrants packed inside compartments. "The coordination and collaboration between the agents and Texas Department of Public Safety resulted in multiple migrants being rescued from a very dangerous situation," Big Bend Sector Chief Patrol Agent Sean L. McGoffin said in a statement. Agents alerted the Texas Department of Public Safety to the possible smuggling scheme and officers performed a traffic stop on the second vehicle, finding multiple people hiding inside the trailer. Authorities apprehended a total of 74 illegal immigrants and three U.S. citizens, CBP said. Two of the U.S. citizens were turned over to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
