WESLACO - Border Patrol officials say the Rio Grande Valley is seeing an increase in stash houses used for human smuggling.

After a human smuggling operation was busted in Weslaco this week, the police chief in says that bust is uncommon for his city. Border Patrol assisted taking more than 50 illegals into custody.

Border Patrol spokesperson Rosie Huey says there is no way to find out if this is a bigger problem in some areas compared to others. She says according to Border Patrol's database, it's clear human smugglers are operating all over the Valley.

Huey also says according to BP's stats, there's an increase in stash houses being found around the Valley. Huey believes that's because more busts are taking place.

"RGV sector has seen an increase in stash house due to the collaboration we have with local, state and federal agencies as well as the tips we are receiving from community members," says Huey.

Huey says trying to determine where stash houses will pop up is impossible vecause it's unpredictable. She says those human smugglers will go wherever they think they can get away with it.

The most recent bust was in Weslaco this week. Recently, a stash house with humans inside was busted in Donna. San Juan police say they've had a problem with human smugglers in their city for quite some time.

Jan Brewer’s book was my first Kindle buy. I had to stop reading after a few chapters because it was so absolutely sickening the horrific things going on as discovered by Arizona police, e.g. mutilation, torture, etc. I couldn’t stomach any more, and our federal government refuses to act.
