One woman paid $16,000 to be smuggled, according to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar.
BEXAR COUNTY — Twenty-six migrants were found in an apparent human smuggling operation near San Antonio. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said Thursday they were found inside a residence — a 'shack' with buckets for toilets and no air conditioning or running water.'It's miserable conditions in there and it's just blazing hot,' Salazar told reporters. 'Fortunately, we were able to get these people before any of them passed as a result.
'It's possible that we have others from other countries, but just her, we know for a fact she paid $16,000 to be smuggled to this point,' he said. 'So, I mean, if you just got one of these people paying 16 grand and there's 26 smuggling victims, this is a big money operation.'Bulletproof vests and rifles were also found, Salazar said, adding that the operation was 'clearly cartel related.' Seven suspects have been arrested.
