[NBC23|PHOTO] U.S. Border Patrol agents detained 19 migrants who were discovered during two failed smuggling attempts, including one in which migrants were inside a road paver without access to an escape.
On Dec. 9, agents at the Falfurrias checkpoint encountered a Dodge Ram truck pulling a trailer, and they referred both to a secondary inspection area following a K-9 alert.
Fifteen migrants were discovered inside the travel trailer, authorities said.
The driver, passenger, and migrants were determined to be unlawfully present in the United States and were placed under arrest, according to a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. [FULLSTORY]
