    HARLINGEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Four migrants were stopped in the midst of an alleged human smuggling attempt at the Valley International Airport, authorities say.

    On Thursday, U.S. Border Patrol agents and Harlingen Police officers said they approached the aircraft at Gulf Aviation and found a number of Central American migrants in the small plane, along with two pilots.

    The four migrants were from Guatemala and Honduras, according to a release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. All of them were placed under arrest.

    The plane was seized by Harlingen police.

    Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez tweeted photos showing a person believed to be the aircraft’s pilot escorting four individuals to the aircraft. Agents moved in and questioned the five people involved in the alleged smuggling activity.

    The agents identified the four passengers, two men and two women, as citizens of Guatemala and Honduras.

    The four migrants had no documents permitting them to legally be present in the United States.

    The agents arrested the four migrants and two pilots. The Harlingen Police Department seized the aircraft used in the alleged smuggling attempt, according to a statement from CBP officials.

    “Great work to all involved,” said Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez, “This particular case highlights the importance of our law enforcement partnerships, especially intercepting unconventional smuggling methods.”

    In September 2022, Texas Department of Public Safety special agents and Border Patrol agents interdicted another aviation-related human smuggling incident at the McAllen, Texas, airport, Breitbart Texas reported.

    In this incident, 19 migrants were found in the attempted human smuggling incident. The Central American migrants were allegedly being smuggled to the Houston area.
