On Wednesday, Border Patrol agents announced the discovery of seven illegal aliens concealed in a sweltering hidden compartment under a flatbed trailer in South Texas. The discovery followed the driver of a truck pulling the trailer crashing into a ranch fence near Laredo in a bid to escape. The aliens were found sealed into the poorly ventilated compartment during one of the hottest weeks of the summer thus far.

The Border Patrol released photos that show the illegal aliens trapped in the concealed compartment underneath the flooring of the flatbed trailer. According to the agency, the driver managed to escape by deliberately crashing the pickup truck he was driving into a privately owned ranch fence and fleeing on foot. The smuggling scheme thwarted by the agents highlights the dangers illegal aliens face when contracting with the human smugglers who put profit first and safety last when trying to outsmart the Border Patrol.

If apprehended, the driver would have faced severe consequences for transporting illegal aliens, a felony under U.S. law. The illegal aliens, according to the Border Patrol, will now face federal charges of illegally entering the United States, a misdemeanor for a first-time offender and a felony for a second offense.

The latest arrest in Laredo highlights just how far cartel smugglers will go to avoid detection by the Border Patrol. With an end to the “catch and release” policies of the Biden administration, more Border Patrol agents are on patrol and no longer relegated to processing and providing humanitarian relief to thousands of migrants crossing the border daily.

As reported by Breitbart Texas, the Border Patrol arrested a mere 6,070 illegal aliens along the southwest border during the entire month of June, according to Trump Border Czar Tom Homan. None were released into the United States to pursue asylum claims or other relief. The number marks a record low and pales in comparison to the 87,666 arrests made just a year earlier in June 2024 under the Biden administration.

A second case in Laredo, announced by the Border Patrol on Tuesday, provides another example of how cartel smuggling networks may be feeling the wrath of a heightened law enforcement presence along the border. In that incident, Border Patrol agents and a contingent of Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol troopers thwarted a smuggling scheme unfolding at a suspected drop house in the city near the Rio Grande.

After agents observed suspicious activity at the house, a group of people was observed getting into a white pickup truck. The driver of the truck fled from the scene but was stopped by Border Patrol agents and troopers. Several occupants fled from the truck and were later apprehended. The driver faces charges of transporting illegal aliens, and the occupants now face charges of illegally entering the United States.
