According to the "Daily Star" news on June 28, in Texas, the largest state in the southern United States and the second largest state in the United States, "piles of... Bodies", 46 immigrants have been confirmed dead.
These people died from the extreme heat at the US-Mexico border. The victims appear to be linked to one of the deadliest recent human smuggling incidents.
San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood said 16 other people, including four minors, were sent to the hospital due to heat stroke and fatigue.
Three people were detained in the incident. Charles Hood added that the people in the trailer died of heatstroke. There was no air conditioning or water for them, and the survivors were "hot to the touch."
A large number of ambulances, fire trucks and other police vehicles were at the scene on Quintana Road, and police were searching nearby woods for others.
San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said the investigation was now in the hands of U.S. federal authorities: "This is a tragedy. They have families and may be trying to find a better life. This "It's just a horrific human tragedy."
The death toll is likely to rise, with a law enforcement source telling the San Antonio Express-News that "there may have been close to 100 people in the truck, and about half of them may have died."
The bodies were probably dead. The vehicle was found inside an 18-wheeler truck in San Antonio near railroad tracks, about 150 miles (approximately 3241 kilometers) from the Mexican border, where temperatures reached 40 degrees Celsius on Monday (June 27).
Sadly, these traffickers will continue to operate with impunity.
Welcome to Biden's America....
So why risk death and escape when it's also the destination's fault?
