Texas Border Patrol agents last week discovered 16 illegal immigrants in a hotel room who claimed they were waiting to be smuggled further into the United States.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said that Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol (RGV) agents received a tip-off on Sept. 17 that a hotel in Edinburg was being used to harbor illegal immigrants.
