Texas sheriff says 7 suspects arrested, 11 migrants hospitalized after sting near San Antonio
SUMMARY
Authorities uncovered a group of over two dozen illegals, some requiring medical attention, crammed into a concealed compartment of a trailer in San Antonio. Following a tip, seven individuals suspected of smuggling were apprehended. The illegals endured harsh conditions, facing extreme heat and limited water, resulting in heat-related injuries. This incident echoes a previous fatal human smuggling case in 2022. The majority of individuals apprehended were mostly adults, and Sheriff Salazar attributed the smuggling operation to Mexican cartels.
