During the secondary inspections, the agents found nearly 100 migrants locked inside the trailers with no means of escape in the event of a crash or abandonment by the human smugglers.
Elsewhere in the sector, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers attempted to stop a black pickup truck. The driver fled and eventually drove through a rancher’s fence. Troopers and Cotulla Station Border Patrol agents later found the stolen truck abandoned in the brush.
