The U.S. Border Patrol found 149 illegal aliens locked inside a commercial tractor trailer on April 16 at a location near the Texas-Mexico border.
The vehicle was being screened at the Interstate Highway 35 north of Laredo, Texas. Border Patrol agents noticed “multiple anomalies” inside the trailer after a non-intrusive scan. Upon opening the sealed cargo area of the vehicle, they found 149 illegal aliens, according to a press release.
