Big Bend Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended 49 migrants found locked inside a tractor-trailer at the Interstate 10 immigration checkpoint. The apprehension at the checkpoint comes on the same day Border Patrol officials closed similar checkpoints in the Del Rio Sector. Officials have subsequently closed the Laredo Sector checkpoints in an attempt to divert additional resources to the humanitarian crisis in Del Rio, Texas.
Sierra Blanca Border Patrol agents assigned to the Interstate 10 immigration checkpoint on September 16 observed a tractor-trailer approaching for inspection. A K-9 inspection led to an alert indicating the possible presence of drug or human cargo in the trailer, according to information obtained from Border Patrol officials.
During a secondary inspection, a physical search led to the discovery of 49 migrants who were locked inside the trailer. Officials identified the migrants as citizens of Brazil, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru.
