EXCLUSIVE: Callous Cartel Human Smugglers Lock Migrants in 100-Degree-Plus Texas Rail Cars
Breitbart ^ | 09/13/2026 | Randy Clark

For the second time in recent weeks, Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents found illegal aliens locked inside freight cars as temperatures in the region continue to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The latest incident involved three illegal aliens locked in a hot freight-train auto hauler with no means of escape.

On Monday, agents assigned to the Uvalde Border Patrol Station conducted a search for illegal aliens on rail cars at a freight train siding near Knippa, Texas. The corridor is a major freight route between the U.S.-Mexico border and San Antonio. The arduous task involves daily searches of hundreds of freight cars carrying sealed containers, grain, rock material from stone quarries, autos, and industrial goods.

While searching one rail car, a Border Patrol canine team detected the scent of concealed humans within a locked freight car transporting newly assembled automobiles from Mexico. Agents inspected the rail car and discovered three illegal aliens locked inside with no means of escape — a desperate tactic agents say is used by smugglers and that all too frequently results in tragedy.

Agents determined the occupants of the sealed rail car included one illegal alien from Mexico, one from Nicaragua, and another from Honduras. Agents transported the group to the Uvalde Station and processed them for removal.

Just weeks earlier, on August 30, agents rescued another group of eight illegal aliens locked within another automobile hauler at the same rail car inspection site.

In that incident, one member of the eight illegal aliens rescued by agents was a child. The group, composed of three Mexican nationals, three Salvadorans, one Guatemalan, and one Chinese national, was also locked in with no means of escape.

The smugglers open the top of the auto haulers and push on the top of the doors with their feet. The doors are light steel and bend easily enough to allow room for an adult to climb inside. When I was a Border Patrol agent we used to check the trains with our K-9 units before the trains left the border area. The auto haulers have three levels and most of the time the illegals were on inside the too
P level sitting inside new cars that were always unlocked with the keys in the ignition. We’d walk by and often hear a car radio playing. Kind of made it obvious.

I just don’t care. If illegals die, hopefully their death serves as a warning to stop coming.
