U.S. Border Patrol agents working in Hidalgo County, Texas, busted an illegal immigrant stash house where more than 50 foreign nationals were being held.
The agents assigned to the Rio Grande Valley Sector worked with Hidalgo County Sheriff’s and Constable’s deputies in carrying out a joint investigation that led to the discovery of the stash house. The team observed suspicious behavior at a home in Edinburg, Texas and approached the home, according to information received by Breitbart Texas from U.S. Border Patrol spokesperson, Supervisory Patrol Agent Marlene Castro. The agents and deputies approached the home and obtained a voluntary consent to search from the caretaker.
Once the agents made entry into the home, they discovered 57 people crammed into the little house used to warehouse the human cargo. Five of the people in the home were identified as caretakers. The remaining 52 were identified as foreign nationals who had been smuggled into the United States illegally.
