Border agents rescue migrants from hot railroad car


DEMING, N.M. U-S Border Patrol agents have rescued more than a dozen illegal immigrants from a hot railroad car in southwestern New Mexico.

A concerned citizen called authorities yesterday after spotting a small group of immigrants walking on Interstate Ten toward Deming. As agents responded to that scene, they spotted several more people near a train.

They apprehended the immigrants outside the train but then noticed a container car that was locked. They opened it and found 15 more immigrants.

A total of 24 illegal immigrants were apprehended in the area.

Border Patrol agents believe the migrants were placed in the train car by a smuggler. The group claimed to be en route to Arizona.

At least they found it in time to save their lives! It could have gone very badly for those people.

So true, lets hope they got lots of water and are being sent back to Mexico as we speak.

Oops. I mean en route to Mexico City.
