Border Patrol agents in Van Horn, Texas, found 33 illegal immigrants locked inside a U-Haul box truck amid a strong heatwave that has hit a large part of the nation.
Authorities were alerted to a possible human smuggling operation at around 10 p.m. on June 10, 2021. They were informed about suspicious activity happening near a Mcdonald’s restaurant and approached two vehicles. Upon checking the U-Haul, the agents found 33 people that were close to death due to the heat and lack of air.
