Migrants Found Locked in Pickup Truck Toolbox near Border in Arizona

by BOB PRICE 14 Mar 2023

Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents arrested an alleged human smuggler after finding three migrants locked inside a pickup-truck toolbox. The agents discovered the migrants trapped in the box following a K-9 inspection.

Agents assigned to the Tucson Sector Three Points Station responded last week to a request for assistance from the Tohono O’odham Police Department, according to a tweet from Chief Patrol Agent John R. Modlin.

The agents arrived on the scene and conducted a preliminary search with a K-9 team. The K-9 alerted to the possible presence of drug or human cargo in the truck. A physical inspection of a locked toolbox in the truck’s bed led to the discovery of three migrants. The migrants had no means of escape in the event of a crash or being abandoned by the smuggler.

The man, a U.S. citizen, now faces criminal charges for “a brazen human smuggling attempt,” Modlin stated.

The following day, Douglas Station agents stopped a pickup truck with fake license plates, Modlin tweeted. The agents observed a group of suspected migrants entering the truck near Douglas, Arizona.

After stopping the driver, the agents found 13 migrants — including two small children — packed dangerously in the cab and bed of the truck.

Modlin said the human smuggler showed no regard for the safety of the camouflage-wearing migrants packed in the truck.

Drugs and illegals pour through the Indian reservation. They pay those Indians well to smuggle drugs and humans through that territory, that is why those Indians want no Wall.
