U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents reveal photos of men, women and one unaccompanied minor crammed inside a refrigerated truck at Arizona checkpoint.
Two men are facing federal human smuggling charges after dozens of illegal immigrants were discovered locked in refrigerated semitrailer Monday night at an immigration checkpoint in southern Arizona, according to officials.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a news release that agents inspected the trailer after a trained dog alerted them. When agents opened up the trailer, they discovered 32 Mexican and Ecuadorian nationals, all in the country illegally, hidden in the produce cargo.
"People aren't cargo, they're not meant to be in the back of tractor-trailers and they're not meant to be transported in this fashion," Border Patrol agent Joe Curran told FOX10.
