U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents disrupted two human smuggling operations near the Texas border last week, resulting in the arrest of over 200 illegal aliens in two tractor-trailers, the agency said.
The federal law enforcement agency said in news release on Dec. 7 that Border Patrol agents from two checkpoints near Laredo, Texas, thwarted the smuggling attempts and discovered 218 individuals from the countries of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Nicaragua.
