#VIDEO: DOZENS of illegal immigrants recovered from a burning trailer in South Texas.
On June 4, 2026, TX DPS Troopers responded to assist Border Patrol Agents in a vehicle pursuit involving a tractor trailer along Highway 281 near Falfurrias. During the pursuit, Troopers on device in attempt to stop the vehicle – but the driver continued to evade until the tractor trailer caught fire. Troopers and Agents immediately removed the driver and a passenger from the vehicle’s cab and placed them under arrest. At that time, the driver informed law enforcement of additional occupants inside the trailer.
Troopers and Agents quickly unlocked the trailer and rescued 39 suspected illegal immigrants before the trailer became engulfed in flames. All subjects were medically screened for injuries prior to being taken into custody.
This incident is a reminder of the dangerous lengths human smugglers will go to when engaging in this criminal activity, and DPS is proud to work with our federal partners, like #USBP, to stop them.

“…but the driver continued to evade until the tractor trailer caught fire.”
It is so hot down in Texas that you can expect trailers to spontaneously ignite.
Did these illegals just come over the border?
How did they get through the checkpoints?
The important thing is: did the driver have a commercial drivers license?
How did they get through the checkpoints?

they snuck through the Mayorkas Gap

I have no idea what that is/means, but to stop a 18-wheeler you remove the air pressure for the brakes.
Easiest way to do that is to shoot the air tanks.
Bribery probably.
He probably burned up the brakes trying to evade.
The device most likely flattened the tires. Tires on semis can ignite if they are run flat.
You exhaust the air pressure, the spring loaded brake chamber pots lock down the brakes.
“the Mayorkas Gap”
A keeper meme.....
I had a friend who worked CBP years ago and ended up shooting a dude getting ready to torch the human cargo. He wasn’t able to deal with popping the dude and changed careers.
Are they having a hurricane evac drill? Back in 2008 there were trucks of illegals moving around in a scheduled hurricane drill, libs made a big deal of border enforcement scaring people into not evacuating because so many residents have illegal family members they wouldn’t want to leave the area for fear of being detained at a checkpoint on the evac route.
That was like an open invitation to use evac drills as cover for moving illegals.
