According to the latest news, the number of people killed in the death of illegal immigrants in San Antonio, Texas, has risen to 51.
Alvarez, head of the North American region of the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said through social media that 22 of the deceased were from Mexico, 7 were from Guatemala, and 2 were from Honduras. The nationalities of the rest have yet to be confirmed.
According to the current investigation, local police believe that the truck carrying illegal immigrants came from the U.S. border city of Laredo on the border with Mexico. The police have arrested three people, including the truck driver.
The Mexican Immigration Service (INM) stated that the container truck did not transit from Mexico into the United States. According to the existing monitoring equipment at the US-Mexico border and land ports, it is impossible for such a container truck carrying a large number of immigrants to escape monitoring and cross the border into the United States. The Mexican Immigration Service pointed out that the large number of immigrants who died in the container truck this time most likely crossed the border from Mexico to the United States in small groups of several people, and then gathered in the United States and moved in the United States in the container truck.
Texas is located in the south-central part of the United States, bordering Mexico, and illegal border crossings occur from time to time. Illegal immigrants typically pay $8,000 to $10,000 to be taken to the border, loaded onto a trailer, and then transported to San Antonio before being transferred to a small vehicle to their final destination within the United States.

There was no water in the carriage, and the air conditioner was not working. It was parked at the location of the incident due to mechanical failure, which ultimately led to tragedy.
