U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents found a number of illegal immigrants in the trunk of cars in the past few days.

The first rescue happened Friday afternoon when agents saw several people get out of two cars in Rachael. They found two immigrants locked in the trunk of one of the cars.

Nine other immigrants were arrested.

On Saturday, agents found four immigrants locked in the trunk of a car near Abram. The driver and a passenger jumped out of the car and swam across the Rio Grande to Mexico.

Later that day McAllen border patrol agents near Rachal stopped a car. As the agents approached, the driver and passenger jumped out and ran.

Agents found four others inside, including two trapped in the trunk.
