Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents arrested an alleged human smuggler after finding three migrants locked inside a pickup-truck toolbox.
The agents arrived on the scene and conducted a preliminary search with a K-9 team. The K-9 alerted to the possible presence of drug or human cargo in the truck. A physical inspection of a locked toolbox in the truck’s bed led to the discovery of three migrants. The migrants had no means of escape in the event of a crash or being abandoned by the smuggler.
The man, a U.S. citizen, now faces criminal charges for “a brazen human smuggling attempt,” Modlin stated. The following day, Douglas Station agents stopped a pickup truck with fake license plates, Modlin tweeted. The agents observed a group of suspected migrants entering the truck near Douglas, Arizona.
After stopping the driver, the agents found 13 migrants — including two small children — packed dangerously in the cab and bed of the truck. Modlin said the human smuggler showed no regard for the safety of the camouflage-wearing migrants packed in the truck.
