Human Smuggling Attempt Stopped In South Texas

The Border Patrol says it stopped a big human smuggling attempt in south Texas earlier this week. It happened at a checkpoint north of Laredo while agents searched a semi-truck. That's when they found 49 illegal immigrants in the back of the trailer. The migrants were from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. Everybody, including the American driver, was taken into custody.
