Fox News
A Texas man who attempted to smuggle 124 migrants in a sealed tractor-trailer at a Texas border checkpoint was sentenced to nearly five years in prison.
"These smugglers are driven by human greed and heartlessness," Craig Larrabee, acting special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in San Antonio, said in a statement. "HSI will continue to work with our law enforcement partners, such as Border Patrol, to maintain the integrity of our border and nation’s immigration law."
