MILLS COUNTY, Texas (KWTX) – Mills County deputies pulled over an SUV and discovered 21 men inside, one of whom they arrested for human smuggling, Mills County Sheriff Clint Hammonds said Tuesday in a Facebook post.
Deputies pulled the 2008 GMC Yukon at around 4:30 p.m. last Thursday on U.S. Highway 84 in Center City for a traffic violation.
“Deputies observed 21 men inside the vehicle and determined that all the individuals were from Guatemala and were in the United States illegally,†Hammond said in the post.
With the help of Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and Texas Parks And Wildlife game wardens, the 21 were secured and interviewed, he said.
