Migrants Found in Fake Gravel Trailer near Border in Texas
Laredo Sector
Randy Clark13 Sep 2021
The Border Patrol in Laredo, Texas, found more than 130 migrants hidden in two tractor-trailer vehicles over the past weekend. In one case, migrants were hidden within a specially constructed compartment that made the trailer appear to be hauling gravel.
The Border Patrol employs K-9 teams, non-intrusive x-ray scanners, and interview techniques to stop this dangerous method of human trafficking. Despite the creativity, the agents were able to rescue the migrants from the unventilated compartments as outside temperatures peaked at nearly 100 degrees.
Because of the volume of commercial vehicles entering the United States through Laredo, this method of human trafficking is prevalent in the area. U.S. Customs and Border Protection estimates more than 2 million commercial vehicles enter the United States through Laredo annually.
