KSAT-TV reports that authorities from several agencies were called to a North Side neighborhood around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday and found 55 people suspected of entering the country illegally in and around a tractor-trailer. Homeland Security Investigations spokeswoman Nina Pruneda confirmed that the agency is investigating.

Except for the five injured, all of the trailer's occupants were taken to a detention center after they were searched.

A man in handcuffs is watched by a police officer as apparently undocumented immigrants sit on the ground Tuesday night, June 12, 2018 after being found in the back of an 18-wheel truck.

Human trafficking should be considered a crime on par with slave trade.

Looks like there might be some jokers in that deck

All claiming to be unaccompanied minors I presume.

Find the traffickers, hunt them down and leave them for the buzzards.

Judging by the “immigrants” in the photo, this must be Recruitment Month for MS-13 in the good old US of A.

Probably the trucker who helped traffic these guys in...

[hoosiermama]

Is man in the chair the driver?

Replacements for the gang thugs murdered in Chicago and other cities?

....”Human trafficking should be considered a crime on par with slave trade.”......

I doubt these guys would consider their aspirations as that of being slaves. They're going for the apple in the sky! These 'drivers' however need to be given 20 yr. sentences.

The Drivers need a bullet in the brain.

Young enough when deported they’ll try again no doubt...but I do think a law was just passed about getting caught re-entering ....

Minors today should be 12 and under....teenagers today are not ‘children’.

When trafficked they always have styled haircuts and clothes to change into once here so they can appear native and fit right in.

I think the guy sitting on the back of the truck there is the trafficker. He's older than all the others and handcuffed.

Its worse than the slave trade. Everyone got on that truck voluntarily and THEY ARE ALL CRIMINALS. Parents who brought their kids are guilty of contributing to their delinquency as they learn life’s lessons of living with all future reliance on the US tax payers. All of them willfully compounding their criminality, breaking every law they encounter along the way.

The coyotes, financiers AND the driver of this truck need to be publicly executed. After a fair trial, of course.

Re-entry after removal has been a felony for decades.
It was recently just started to be enforced.

[Delta 21]

They should all be in zip ties and face down on the concrete for the cameras. Treating them like they are victims is BS!

[a fool in paradise]

I’d give the smugglers life without parole and death if there human cargo perished.

Note: "LEGAL" immigrants let in.
