Border Patrol Agents Make Shocking Discovery as Dozens of Illegal Migrants Stuffed in Back of Truck

Border Patrol agents made a startling discovery in the scorching California desert after finding 31 migrants allegedly crammed into the back of a modified utility truck in a suspected human-smuggling operation.

The packed vehicle was discovered near Ocotillo, a tiny Imperial County community near the US-Mexico border, according to the US Border Patrol’s El Centro Sector.

“Smugglers packed 31 illegal aliens like cargo into a modified utility truck and hauled them through dangerous desert heat near Ocotillo, California,” the agency said.

But the suspected driver apparently wasn’t sticking around to explain.

Border Patrol said the driver ditched the vehicle and fled across the border into Mexico as agents took the group into custody.

However, his getaway didn’t last long. Mexican law enforcement subsequently arrested the suspected smuggler. (Read more from “Border Patrol Agents Make Shocking Discovery as Dozens of Illegal Migrants Stuffed in Back of Truck” HERE)
