Texas ‘stash house’ busted; Border Patrol sends 35 illegals back to Mexico, authorities say

A U.S. Border Patrol investigation led this week to the discovery of 35 illegal immigrants inside a "stash house" in El Paso, Texas, according to a report.

"Our El Paso Sector integrated targeting teams focused on disrupting human smuggling continue to hinder the attempts of human smugglers who harbor illegal migrants, sometimes in deplorable, sub-standard living conditions," El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez said in a release, according to the outlet. "We will continue to target Transnational Criminal Organizations in our region that continue to place the safety and well-being of migrants at risk." Prosecution remained pending for one Mexican national who was described as the "caretaker" of the home, the report said.
