Authorities busted trucks hauling trailers filled with at least 100 illegal aliens apiece on three separate occasions during a 48-hour span last week in Texas, according to reports.
Two tractor-trailers packed with illegals were searched by Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) troopers in Webb County on Thursday and Friday while another was raided in Jackson County on Friday.
“In back to back large scale human smuggling busts on Thursday & Friday, TxDPS stopped two big rig trucks with the assistance of US Border Patrol,” Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported regarding the Webb County incidents.
“Both trailers had over 100 illegal immigrants being smuggled inside each of them. All were referred to Border Patrol.”
At around 7 a.m. on Friday, Jackson County Sheriff’s Office deputies encountered a tractor-trailer that had broken down on a highway approximately 90 miles south of Houston.
“When authorities opened the back of the vehicle, many of the occupants — whom authorities suspect illegally immigrated into the U.S. — jumped out and ran away into nearby brush and cornfields, the sheriff’s office said,” according to Border Report.
Authorities managed to apprehend more than 60 migrants along with the driver, but around 40 more managed to escape, according to the latest available updates.
Nine of the migrants were taken to Jackson County Hospital and treated for dehydration.
