United States: The tractor-trailer that law police discovered on Monday with at least 51 dead migrants inside was stolen from a trucking firm in south Texas, according to the reports.
The vehicle was allegedly abandoned near San Antonio after experiencing technical issues, according to the authorities. After hearing a cry coming from the trailer on Monday night, a city worker went to investigate.
More migrants passed away in hospitals after at least 46 were discovered dead at the spot.
The proprietors of Betancourt Trucking and Harberting disclosed that the 18-wheeler was a replica of a truck that belonged to an Alamo-based firm and had the same colour and registration number.
Additionally, Felipe Betancourt Jr. and Felipe Betancourt gave the information “Our refrigerated trailer, or reefer, is currently parked in the yard. Our trailer is not the one in San Antonio. On the truck that doesn’t belong to them, they have information.”
Recorded numbers of migrants seeking to reach the southern border have been encountered by Border Patrol agents, including 239,416 last month and 235,478 the month before.
Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, blamed the Biden administration’s immigration policy. On Monday night, Abbott tweeted, “These fatalities are on Joe Biden.”
In the midst of the tragedy, President Joe Biden promised to crack down on people trafficking.
President of the United States stated, that the government will keep trying everything possible to prevent human smugglers and traffickers from taking advantage of those who are trying to enter the United States between ports of entry because doing so is disgusting, as is political grandstanding around tragedy.
