Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents disrupted multiple human smuggling schemes in the last days of 2021, officials reported. In many, smugglers placed the migrants in life-threatening situations.
Laredo Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Carl Landrum tweeted images of nearly 100 migrants found by Laredo North Station agents at interior immigration checkpoints. In some of the six interdicted smuggling attempts during a three-day period, migrants were locked in the rear of box trucks and tractor-trailer rigs. In another incident, agents found two migrants packed in the trunk of a sedan.
