According to the official Facebook account of the United States Border Patrol Del Rio Sector, three undocumented immigrants were found and taken into custody by USBP agents outside of Dollar Tree on Del Rio Boulevard in Eagle Pass, TX on Wednesday, September 3rd. The two adult males and one adult female were concealed inside a large tool chest being transported on the bed of a pickup-truck.

Outside temperatures at the time of the encounter were reaching 100°F, according to the social media post, which can often turn into a deadly situation. Photos of the arrests reveal jugs of water inside the tool chest with the undocumented individuals.

The driver of the truck faces a felony human smuggling charge. The undocumented will be deported. See the Facebook post below.
