Texas law enforcement officials broke up a human smuggling operation on Thursday in which 26 migrants were recovered from sweltering conditions, and seven suspected smugglers were arrested. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office received information on Thursday morning that a human smuggling operation was taking place involving several dozen people.
Salazar told reporters it was not known whether all 26 migrants were in fact victims. He explained that sometimes coyotes will try to pass themselves off as migrants or blend in with the crowd. Under questioning, investigators said they hoped to weed out who was in fact a migrant, and who was not.
Salazar said all the migrants were adults, with the youngest being 18 years old.
