Border Patrol agents in southern Texas rescued over two dozen individuals attempting to further their illegal entry into the United States via concealed train cars.
The first incident occurred during the mid-evening of September 18, when agents conducted a routine freight train check at the Hebbronville Station, about 55 miles east of Laredo. Fourteen illegal immigrants were discovered inside a grain hopper, a type of rail car that can be tightly sealed to keep its cargo dry, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a press release.
