The semi-truck driver who transported up to 100 migrants across the southern border before leaving them to die in the sweltering Texas heat allegedly tried to disguise himself as a victim of the tragedy.
Surveillance cameras captured Homero Zamorano, 45, driving the rig across the border hours before he allegedly abandoned it on a road in the outskirts of San Antonio.
Police say Zamorano, of Houston, was 'very high on meth' at the time of his arrest and tried to pose as 'an irregular immigrant to avoid being detained.'
Mexican nationals Juan Francisco D'Luna-Bilbao and Juan Claudio D'Luna-Mendez were also taken into custody at a home in San Antonio. They were charged in federal court Tuesday with possessing firearms while residing in the US illegally.
The death toll in the tragedy, which is the deadliest human smuggling attempt in American history, rose to 53 Wednesday. Officials have identified 34 of the deceased, including four Hondurans and two Guatemalan sisters.
Police say the smugglers treated the migrants 'worse than animals' throughout the voyage, leaving them no water or visible means of air-conditioning. Several survivors are in critical condition after suffering brain damage and internal bleeding.
Investigators suspect the migrants paid the smugglers around $10,000 for safe passage to the US.

They had $10,000?
McCarthy and McConnell should have held a joint press conference yesterday.

Why the black strip across his eyes?
Brandon wired it to them.
Imagine this had happened on Trump’s watch? They’d be using every scenario and all kinds of made up crap to blame it on him.
Prayers for them all. No one should die like that.
Y’know, if illegal aliens KNEW that they would be chipped, have a biometric sample take, immediately shipped back across the border with no hearing, and never allowed in the US again under any circumstances, they wouldn’t come.
“Margie Tamara Paz Grajera, of Honduras, was named among the deceased on Wednesday. She had been studying at the National Autonomous University of Honduras.”
Wait a minute, she and her boyfriend were among the dead. A college student’s future is so bleak she had to cross the border illegally?
This doesn’t even make sense. She could have just become an exchange student and studied here for a year.
Something with this story isn’t right. Look at the pictures. These people cannot be that poor. They look middle class.
And booked a joint appearance on a primetime TV show to discuss this horrific situation under Biden. But they don't, and they wonder why turnout for these primaries is miserably low, they aren't exactly inspiring people to support them.
“...tried to pose as ‘an irregular immigrant to avoid being detained.’
How could this happen?
Biden put Harris personally in charge of border security months ago.
Just awful. Biden must be impeached and this despicable committee has to be challenged on their lies.
He should, but the GOP won't. If they don't start showing me they are worth my vote I'll just find something else to do on election day.
Blaming Texas for this? Biden is a POS lying ratass!
Human garbage, all of them. This is the fault of Mexico and it’s own people, in and out of the government.
For over forty years this parasitic, corrupt and lawless
nation has been dumping it’s poor here for the American taxpayer to care for, undercutting our middle class with cheap labor, labor and it’s dependents which are given generous taxpayer funded entitlements all the while pulling billions out of this nations economy and sending back to Mexico.
Whatever happened to searching these rigs before the border crossings???
Au contraire: leftists, socialists, communists, fascists, demonKKKrats, anarchists, rioters, looters, murderers, rapists. child molesters etc.
