ODESSA -- The Texas Department of Public Safety stopped and pulled over a U-Haul carrying 16 undocumented immigrants' Saturday afternoon.

The truck was stopped and pulled over on Mile Marker 111 on I-20 near FM 1936.

According to officials from Border Patrol, there was 15 adults and 1 three year old child and they consisted of a mix of Mexican, Guatemalan and El Salvadorian undocumented immigrants' in the back of the truck.

The Border Patrol believes they came out of El Paso and they are still trying to determine how.

A concerned citizen tipped off DPS about the U-Haul truck.

The undocumented immigrants' backgrounds are currently being processed right now.

The criminal records along with the immigration records will determine how everything is handled and Homeland Security will take over the smuggling investigation.
