The number of people killed in the death of illegal immigrants in Texas rises to 51! 》
According to the latest news, the number of illegal immigrant deaths in San Antonio, Texas, rose to 51.
Alvarez, head of North American affairs at Mexico's Foreign Ministry, said via social media that 22 of the dead were from Mexico, 7 from Guatemala and 2 from Honduras, and the nationalities of the rest had not been confirmed.
Based on the current investigation, local police believe the truck carrying illegal immigrants came from the U.S. border city of Laredo, which borders Mexico. Police arrested three people, including the truck driver.
The Mexican Immigration Agency (INM) said the container truck did not transit from Mexico to the United States. Based on existing surveillance equipment at the U.S.-Mexico border and onshore ports, it is unlikely that such a container truck carrying a large number of migrants could escape surveillance and cross the border into the United States. The Mexican Immigration Department noted that the large number of migrants who died in container trucks this time are likely to cross the border from Mexico to the United States through a group of several people, and then assemble in the United States and move within the United States with container trucks.
Texas is located in the south-central United States, bordering Mexico. Illegal border crossings occur from time to time. Illegal immigrants typically need to pay between $8,000 and $10,000 to be taken to the border, loaded on a trailer, and then headed to San Antonio before transferring to a small vehicle for their final destination in the United States. During this time, it is uncertain how much water passengers can drink, whether mobile phones are allowed, etc. According to reports, when the 18-wheeled truck was found on the evening of the 27th, the carriage was crowded with nearly 100 people. There was no water in the carriage and the air conditioning was broken. Due to a mechanical failure, it stopped at the scene of the accident, which eventually led to tragedy. #关注, likes, comment on your thoughts on the matter!
