Approximately 84 illegal aliens were rescued from the back of a tractor-trailer by Texas authorities on Oct. 6 in what officials believe may have been a human smuggling incident.
Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra shared the results of the rescue operation on Twitter, stating that a concerned citizen had contacted police to report a tractor-trailer arriving at a residence in Weslaco, Texas. Weslaco is located about eight miles north of the U.S. border with Mexico.
