Dozens of migrants apprehended by Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies!

Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies apprehended dozens of migrants as they unloaded from a tractor trailer about 12 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday. The migrants, who were not immediately identified, were taken into custody after the sheriff's office received a tip about the truck, which was parked in a rural area near Edinburg, Texas. It was not immediately clear where the migrants were from or how they got into the United States. The sheriff's office said it is investigating the incident. This is the latest in a series of incidents involving migrant smuggling in the Rio Grande Valley, which has seen a surge in illegal border crossings in recent months. In May, 10 people died after being crammed into a sweltering tractor-trailer in San Antonio. The driver of that truck pleaded guilty to human trafficking charges and was sentenced to life in prison. And last month, two men were arrested in connection with the deaths of four migrants who were found in a locked trailer in Laredo, Texas.
