A human smuggler has been apprehended by the Texas Department of Public Safety after attempting to hide and transport 27 illegal aliens in a horse trailer storage compartment.
The smuggler was towing the trailer with a Ford F-250 truck and was stopped by a DPS officer who asked to search the vehicle.
The driver, Jose Guadalupe Salinas from Palmview, consented to having his vehicle inspected by the officer. Salinas even opened a side hatch on the trailer—revealing the entire group of illegal aliens crammed inside.
