city Mcallen: Celebs Rumors

Authorities in Texas disrupted two human smuggling attempts near the U.S. and Mexican border. Texas Department of Public Safety Lieutenant Chris Olivarez tweeted on Sunday that a female driver from Mexico, who's an illegal immigrant, made an attempt to smuggle three people into the country.

Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies located 84 migrants on Thursday afternoon as they unloaded from a tractor trailer just 12 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border in south Texas.  A concerned citizen originally reported the tractor trailer near a residence about 15 miles east of downtown McAllen.  Sheriff's deputies and Border Patrol responded to the scene and took the migrants into custody. Pictures released by Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra show dozens of migrants on the ground in what appears to be a residential area.  Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra released this photo of the tractor trailer that was used in Thursday's human smuggling operation.  (Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra) A TikTok video was posted late on Wednesday evening, seeking "someone who can drive an 18 wheeler right now" from McAllen to Houston for $70,000.  The Texas Department of Public Safety verified that the video is authentic and related to the migrants who were located in Hidalgo County on Thursday.  Texas DPS spokesman Christopher Olivarez said that law enforcement has seen an uptick in recruitment videos on social media sites since last year.  "That is why we are experiencing an increase in human smuggling events along the border," Olivarez told Fox News Digital.
