\"\"Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol (RGV) agents disrupted three human smuggling events and encountered two large groups resulting in 322 apprehensions.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

On April 26, Falfurrias Border Patrol Checkpoint agents, after a K-9 alert, referred a truck pulling a flatbed trailer carrying large metal-sided boxes to the secondary inspection area. Agents observed a vent, approximately 16 inches by 6 inches on one of the boxes and removed the vent to reveal 40 migrants in a seated position trapped inside. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The metal-sided box had to be broken apart by unscrewing multiple bolts using a power tool found in the truck.\u00a0 The box had no other opening or means of escape for the occupants. <\/span><\/p>\n

Agents determined the 40 migrants are citizens of Central America and Mexico unlawfully in the U.S. while the driver was a U.S. citizen. <\/span><\/p>\n

All subjects were placed under arrest.<\/span><\/p>\n

A search of the truck revealed the power tool, a handgun, and loaded magazines. The Brooks County Sheriff\u2019s Office took custody of the truck, trailer, weapon, magazines, and driver.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

On April 25, RGV agents received information on an Edinburg residence being used to harbor migrants. A Chevrolet SUV was observed departing the location and RGV agents, with assistance from the Hidalgo County Sheriff\u2019s Office (HCSO), conducted a vehicle stop.\u00a0The driver and two passengers were determined to be illeg<\/span><\/p>\n

ally present in the U.S. Agents and HCSO subsequently searched the residence, but no other subjects were located. All subjects were taken into Border Patrol custody.<\/u><\/u><\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Later that evening, RGV agents working near San Manuel, attempted to initiate an immigration inspection on the occupants of a maroon Chevrolet Traverse. <\/span><\/p>\n

The driver immediately veered the vehicle off the road and came to a stop. All the occupants bailed out of the vehicle and ran into the nearby brush. Agents arrested eight migrants illegally present in the U.S. without incident. The driver was not located.<\/u><\/u><\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

In the past 24 hours, Rio Grande City Station agents\u00a0encountered two large groups totaling 271 noncitizens near La Grulla.<\/span><\/p>\n

The groups consisted of 174 single adults, 53 family members, and 44 unaccompanied children. The migrants are from Central and South America, and Cuba.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
