FALFURRIAS, Texas — Federal agents working an inland checkpoint found 50 illegal immigrants locked inside a tractor trailer, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Wednesday.
The immigrants were found Tuesday. None required medical attention, though agents said the trailer was not air-conditioned and many were sweating. All were being processed for deportation.
The driver and passenger in the truck's cab were arrested and charged with alien smuggling. There identities were withheld pending further investigation.
