Fox News reporter Bill Melugin on the continuation of illegal immigrant smuggling and lack of support from President Biden.
A New Mexico man was arrested on Tuesday after border patrol officers discovered 67 illegal immigrants concealed in the rear compartment of a box truck he was driving in west Texas.
Javier Duarte, a 22-year-old who lives in Las Cruces, was allegedly driving the white box truck on Tuesday near Alpine, Texas when he stopped at a checkpoint on Highway 118.
A K-9 alerted to the presence of concealed humans and officers subsequently found the migrants, who were from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
They were hidden behind two wooden walls that were drilled into the truck with metal brackets. Photos of the truck showed migrants in a tight space behind plywood with two small fans.
