Border Patrol K-9 Finds 120 Migrants at Inland Checkpoint

BOB PRICE16 May 2019142

Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents discovered more than 100 migrants in a tractor-trailer after a K-9 alerted to the possible presence of drugs or human cargo at an immigration checkpoint in South Texas.

Laredo West Station agents assigned to the Highway 83 immigration checkpoint observed a black tractor-trailer approach for inspection. During an immigration interview with the driver, the man claimed to have no identification, according to information obtained from Laredo Sector Border Patrol officials. At about the same time, a K-9 agent alerted to a scent it is trained to detect.

The agents referred the driver to a secondary inspection station. As the truck parked, the driver jumped out of the passenger door and ran off into an adjacent field, officials stated. The agents opened the trailer and found a total of 120 migrants locked inside with no means of escape. Fortunately, the weather at the time was unseasonably cool, officials stated.
