Officials report the migrants — two female and four male — were to be flown from Weslaco to Houston. Law enforcement officials arrested three people. DPS officials reported the migrants carried fake Texas identification cards with addresses in the Houston metropolitan area.
During a records check, officials identified one of the men as Ivan Flores-Rivas, a 38-year-old Mexican national. A search of law enforcement databases led to the information that Flores-Rivas had previously been deported as a convicted felon for illegal re-entry after removal. He is also reported to be wanted in Wisconsin for the Sexual Assault of a Child.
Texas DPS spokesman Lt. Christopher Olivarez told Breitbart Texas this is the third human smuggling incident utilizing aircraft interdicted by the agency in less than 30 days. On Friday, DPS investigators stopped an aircraft at the airport in McAllen, Texas, as it prepared to depart, Breitbart Texas reported.

Olivares said one of the migrants told investigators he paid $11,000 to smugglers for the flight from South Texas to Houston. This was on top of the $7,000 he previously paid to be smuggled into the U.S.
Border Patrol agents also interdicted a fourth aircraft this month being utilized to smuggle migrants, Olivares stated.
