San Antonio

The bodies were found in a tractor-trailer on a sweltering day in the region, NBC News reported.

The heat will likely be a focus for those investigating the deaths. The police chief said the survivors lacked water and air conditioning. Someone who works in the area reported hearing a cry for help and spotted at least one body, officials said.

Migrants — largely from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — have been expelled more than 2 million times under a pandemic-era rule in effect since March 2020 that denies them a chance to seek asylum but encourages repeat attempts because there are no legal consequences for getting caught.

Truck smuggling is a way up,” he wrote on Twitter. “They were suffering from heat stroke and exhaustion,” Hood said.

But this is one of the deadliest border incidents involving migrants to occur en masse in modern history, per AP. "We're not supposed to open up a truck and see stacks of bodies in there.

According to San Antonio Fire Department Chief Charles Hood, all injuries were heat related and patients were 'hot to the touch.' Hood said during a press conference Monday night that those who died suffered from heat strokes and exhaustion due to high temperatures. Hood said that 16 people were transported to San Antonio area hospitals - 12 adults and four children. SAN ANTONIO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - Three people are in custody after 46 people were found dead inside a tractor-trailer on the southwest side of San Antonio.

San Antonio is rich in history from all walks of life. A small portion of that history can be found in the 1400 block of Main Street north of downtown.

This building has been a bar since it was built in the ‘50s. Cunnif says it was formerly a club called the “Swank Lounge.” It has a hidden tunnel in the back that judges and lawmakers used to exit when law enforcement would enter the bar. It also serves as a reminder of the dark times the LGBTQ+ community had to overcome. I try to have walls that have pictures and walls to show. In 2016, Cunnif opened a sports bar called “Knockout.” Eric Carrier has been a bartender around “The Strip” for nearly 30 years. And that continues up through the 2000′s,” says Gohlke. Nearly every day and night, you can find Carrier serving at Knockout. He says, “every year that I’ve worked here, I’ve seen a whole new group of people coming in that’s a whole different energy level.” Carrier says he sees all types of people in Knockout, from the regulars to straight couples who want to have a memorable night out. The weekend is a vital moment of celebration for the LGBTQ+ community to honor the progress made in achieving equality. The building was once an antique shop in the 1950s, but it was abandoned when Cunnif bought it. One of the minorities that took advantage of the freshly opened space was the LGBTQ+ community. Cunnif also owns “Luther’s Cafe,” which today, sits on the corner of Main and West Evergreen Street, but it hasn’t always been there. For 38 years, Randy Cunnif has owned four of the five bars on Main Street, as well as, the title of “The Strip.” The first club Cunnif opened in the area was Heat nightclub in 2001. The simple fact that this celebration has ballooned into the size it is today shows the progress made for the LGBTQ+ community.

A tweet from Republican Texas U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales said that it had been "102 degrees" in San Antonio when the bodies were discovered.

The lack of real immigration reform puts migrants in danger of falling victims to unscrupulous smugglers." San Antonio firefighters then responded to the scene and discovered "stacks of bodies" inside, according to Hood. "Once again, the lack of courage to deal with immigration reform is killing and destroying lives. "The plight of migrants seeking refuge is always a humanitarian crisis, but tonight we are dealing with a horrific human tragedy," San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said. There have been multiple incidents of undocumented migrants being found inside tractor-trailers in Texas in recent years, presumably due to human smuggling. San Antonio law enforcement officials confirmed during a press conference that 46 people had died, with another 16 being transported to local hospitals for treatment.

Más de 40 personas fueron encontradas muertas este lunes en un camión utilizado para transportar migrantes en San Antonio, Texas. Aquí los detalles.

El conductor James Mathew Bradley Jr., de 60 años, de Clearwater, Florida, se declaró culpable de conspiración y transporte de migrantes, aunque su esposa dijo que no sabía que había personas en el tráiler. Mientras tanto el arzobispo de la Arquidiócesis de San Antonio, Gustavo, compartió la noticia de y tuiteó: “Hay alrededor de 46 migrantes muertos en San Antonio. Nuestras oraciones elevadas a ti, oh Señor, por sus almas. ¡Señor después de Uvalde y ahora esto, ayúdanos! ¡Te necesitamos!

Incident in Texas on Monday marks one of the deadliest tragedies involving people attempting to cross US border from Mexico in recent decades.

Ten migrants died in 2017 after being trapped inside a truck that was parked at a Walmart in San Antonio. “The patients that we saw were hot to the touch, they were suffering from heat stroke, exhaustion,” the San Antonio fire chief, Charles Hood, told a news conference. A San Antonio fire department official said they found “stacks of bodies” and no signs of water in the truck.

Ebrard reiteró la información dada a conocer por las autoridades de Texas y agregó que entre los sobrevivientes hay dos guatemaltecos.

Antes de eso, la gente pagaba cuotas pequeñas a operadores improvisados para que les ayudaran a cruzar la frontera, que en ese tiempo estaba menos vigilada. Adjudicó este último dato a los tratantes de personas. Luego de que los cruces se tornaron más difíciles tras los atentados terroristas del 2001 en Estados Unidos, los migrantes fueron conducidos a través de regiones más peligrosas y hacían pagos por miles de dólares.

In recent days, law enforcement officials along the border and in nearby counties have expressed concern at the number of arriving migrants in Texas, which has long been one of the most heavily trafficked borders for migrants. The worker found the doors of the trailer partially open and bodies inside. The journey north for migrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico is typically dangerous, and sometimes fatal. And local police planned to search the site for more bodies on Tuesday. Authorities are working to identify the dozens of victims, who are believed to be migrants. The police chief, William McManus, said three people had been detained.

Some 22 Mexicans, seven Guatemalans and two Hondurans were identified among the dead, Mexico's Foreign Minister, Marcelo Ebrard, said on Tuesday on Twitter.

“The plight of migrants seeking refuge is always a humanitarian crisis,” the mayor said. In May, agents apprehended a record high of more than 239,000 migrants along the entire border. Agents from Homeland Security Investigations, a unit specialized in smuggling, were collecting evidence inside the trailer on Monday, officials said. The deaths came as state officials are bracing for a new surge in illegal crossings. Three people have been taken into custody, the police said. At least 16 others, including children, were taken to hospitals alive but suffering from apparent heat exhaustion and dehydration.

A U.S. official says at least 40 people have been found dead inside a tractor-trailer in a presumed migrant smuggling attempt in South Texas.

It may be the deadliest tragedy among thousands who have died attempting to cross the U.S. border from Mexico in recent decades. Before that, people paid small fees to mom-and-pop operators to get them across a largely unguarded border. A city worker at the scene was alerted to the situation by a cry for help shortly before 6 p.m. Monday, Police Chief William McManus said. Ten migrants died in 2017 after being trapped inside a truck that was parked at a Walmart in San Antonio. In 2003, 19 migrants were found in a sweltering truck southeast of San Antonio. Those in the trailer were part of a presumed migrant smuggling attempt into the United States, and the investigation was being led by U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, McManus said. Of the 16 taken to hospitals with heat-related illnesses, 12 were adults and four were children, said Fire Chief Charles Hood. The patients were hot to the touch and dehydrated, and no water was found in the trailer, he said.

At least two more people have died and others remain in the hospital as of Tuesday after 46 people were found dead, a hospital official said.

There were no signs of water or working air conditioning in the truck. In a Tuesday statement, President Joe Biden called the "tragic loss of life" in San Antonio "horrifying and heartbreaking." HSI has detained three people "believed to be part of the smuggling conspiracy," U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement to USA TODAY. Sixteen people found in the truck were initially hospitalized, including 12 adults and four children, Hood said Monday. None of the victims who died were children. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement to USA TODAY that 50 people had died as of 6 a.m. Tuesday. Forty-six bodies were initially found in the trailer Monday and 16 people were hospitalized, authorities said. Officers found a body on the ground outside the trailer, and hours later, body bags were spread out on the ground outside the truck.

Un camión tipo tráiler fue encontrado al sur de la ciudad de San Antonio, en una zona boscosa. Se trata de la peor tragedia de este tipo en décadas.

Por su ubicación estratégica, San Antonio ha sido por años una escala para el tráfico de migrantes a otras ciudades de Estados Unidos. En 2017, una escena similar a la de este lunes copó los titulares. Las autoridades hallaron un camión con 10 personas fallecidas en el estacionamiento de un Walmart; algunos de los sobrevivientes fueron encontrados desperdigados por el lugar, sentados en el pavimento, pidiendo ayuda. McManus contó que muchas de las personas encontradas dentro del vehículo tenían en la piel condimento para bistec. La hizo una persona que trabajaba por la zona y que escuchó los gritos de ayuda. Critica que la explotación de personas vulnerables es "penosa" y que su gobierno tomará más medidas para frenarla. Las autoridades recibieron la primera llamada sobre un camión a las 6:00pm del lunes, contó el jefe de la Policía de San Antonio, William McManus, en una rueda de prensa.

Las autoridades intentan identificar a decenas de víctimas encontradas dentro o cerca de un tráiler. Tres personas han sido detenidas y el martes la policía ...

La cantidad de migrantes detenidos en la frontera suroeste aumentó en mayo a la mayor cifra registrada en décadas, según datos de Aduanas y Protección fronteriza. En años recientes, además, decenas de migrantes han fallecido en accidentes de tránsito rumbo al norte. Un empleado de un negocio cercano escuchó un grito de ayuda y se acercó a investigar, dijo el jefe McManus. El trabajador halló que las puertas del camión estaban parcialmente abiertas y vio los cuerpos dentro. El vehículo fue encontrado en un camino, entre las vías del tren y patios de chatarra de autos. El jefe de policía, William McManus dio a conocer que había tres personas detenidas. Los traficantes a menudo transportan grandes cantidades de personas en tráileres, furgonetas o en vehículos utilitarios por zonas remotas en medio de un calor abrasador.

At least 50 people were found dead Monday in the trailer of an abandoned tractor-trailer in San Antonio in what appears to be the deadliest human smuggling ...

He said he wanted his name cleared of the matter. The driver, James Matthew Bradley Jr., 60, of Clearwater, Florida, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and transporting migrants, although his wife said he did not know people were in the trailer. Williams was also sentenced to life behind bars over what was, until Monday, the nation's deadliest human smuggling attempt. McManus said Homeland Security Investigations had taken over the investigation into the deadly incident. The grim discovery was made early Monday evening in an undeveloped area of southwest San Antonio near railroad tracks. On Tuesday morning, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the death toll had risen to 50. “They were suffering from heat stroke, heat exhaustion.” “The patients that we saw were hot to the touch,” he said. When contacted by NBC News, Betancourt said the vehicle appeared to have been “cloned.” He said the operators of the truck found in San Antonio appeared to have duplicated his truck’s registration numbers. The registration number of the truck found in San Antonio was traced to a vehicle belonging to a man named Felipe Betancourt, based in the city of Alamo. He did not expand on their identities. Sixteen others, including four children, were hospitalized, San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood said.

The number of migrants dead in a suspected smuggling operation rose to 50 Tuesday, the Mexican consulate reported, a day after dozens of bodies were found ...

Eight migrants died in the trailer and two died at a hospital. State records indicate a man in Alamo, Tex., is associated with those numbers — but his son-in-law, Isaac Limon, said that whoever ran the smuggling operation fraudulently printed those figures on the truck. Immigration advocates say federal border policies are pushing people to make extreme choices and put their lives in the hands of criminals. Sad to say, but he’s a bit of a victim, too, because people believe it was him.” The trailer door was ajar when law enforcement arrived but those inside were too weak to get themselves out, Hood said. All were in the country illegally, according to federal investigators. U.S. Border Patrol agents are finding increasing numbers of people dead in ranches, desert and brushland across South and West Texas after being left behind by smugglers, injured or falling behind their group. Williams was sentenced to 34 years in prison. Police Chief William McManus said three people were in custody but their alleged connection to the smuggling attempt is not yet clear. CBP made 239,416 arrests along the border last month, a 2 percent increase from April, according to the totals. Guatemala’s President Alejandro Giammattei described the tragedy as “unforgiveable” in a tweet. Similar fatal cases showed temperatures under such conditions could rise to above 173 degrees inside the trailer.

Migrants — largely from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — have been expelled more than 2 million times under the pandemic-era rule in effect since March 2020 that denies a chance to seek asylum. More than 50 migrants were found alive in a trailer in 2018, driven by a man who said he was to be paid $3,000 and was sentenced to more than five years in prison. “They were suffering from heat stroke and exhaustion,” Hood said. Other incidents have occurred long before migrants reached the U.S. border. Wolff said Tuesday that authorities believe the truck had mechanical problems and was abandoned. In December, more than 50 died when a semitrailer filled with migrants rolled over on a highway in southern Mexico. In October, Mexican authorities reported finding 652 migrants packed into six trailers near the U.S. border. Among the dead were 39 males and 11 females, he said. Forty-six people were found dead at the scene, authorities said. Migrants were stopped nearly 240,000 times in May, up by one-third from a year ago. He said the truck had passed through a Border Patrol checkpoint northeast of Laredo, Texas, on Interstate 35. South Texas has long been the busiest area for illegal border crossings. Hours later, body bags lay spread on the ground.

The tragic loss of life in San Antonio, Texas that took place yesterday is horrifying and heartbreaking. Our prayers are with those who lost their lives,

In Los Angeles two weeks ago, I announced that the United States has launched a first-of-its kind anti-smuggling campaign with our regional partners. The tragic loss of life in San Antonio, Texas that took place yesterday is horrifying and heartbreaking. Our prayers are with those who lost their lives, their loved ones, as well as those still fighting for their lives.
