FALFURRIAS, Texas (AP) — Federal officials say 15 migrants attempting to enter the country illegally have been found in a sweltering tractor-trailer at a South Texas border checkpoint.
The U.S. Border Patrol says the group was discovered during an inspection early Thursday in Falfurrias (fal-FYOO’-ree-uhs). Eleven people were found hiding in the trailer between pallets of carrots while the other four were in the cab, with two of them crammed into a small closet.
