SIERRA BLANCA, TX – Sierra Blanca Border Patrol agents encountered a large human smuggling scheme at the Interstate Highway 10 immigration checkpoint near Sierra Blanca, Texas.
On May 11, 2021, Sierra Blanca agents encountered a vehicle hauling a cargo trailer in the primary inspection lane of the immigration checkpoint located on I-10. During the primary inspection a USBP service K-9 alerted to the vehicle. The vehicle was directed to the secondary inspection area to conduct a further inspection of the vehicle and its contents.
Upon inspection, 20 illegal alien invaders were discovered in both the bed of the truck, covered by a hard plastic cover that was sealed shut, and in the trailer that could only be opened from the outside, with no source of ventilation or space to move freely. Two illegal alien children were also found in the trailer.
“Sierra Blanca agents rescued multiple individuals from unsafe conditions and quickly enacted any requested medical services for all who were concealed in these dangerous conditions,” said Big Bend Sector Chief Patrol Agent Sean McGoffin. “Human smuggling is extremely dangerous; luckily our agents and K-9 assets were able to help these individuals.”
All individuals were processed according to Big Bend Sector protocols. The driver will be presented for federal prosecution.

President biden is responsible for this. I do not blame illegals for trying to come here. I might do the same if I were in their shoes. However, you don't invite homeless people to live in your house or even sleep in your yard and you don't allow millions of illegals to sneak into your country. This brings on many problems our country didn't ask for, such as providing healthcare, education, financial support in various ways and many other things. Many of these people aren't trying to change to fit into the American lifestyle instead, they bring their old ways with them (the same ways of life they are trying to escape by coming here). I was born and raised in Texas. Until I was about mid 30s the only gangs we ever heard of were in NY or California. Now gangs are thick as flies and they aren't here to benefit mankind. Something I see that I don't like is the flying of Mexican flags. Most anyone is proud of their heritage as they should be. Mine is Irish but, I don't have the Irish flag flying in my yard or tied to my truck. I will acknowledge St. Patrick's Day but I am an American. If you are going to live in the United States and reap the benefits of this great country then fly the American flag not some other country's flag.
