Texas authorities found nearly 200 illegal migrants inside a train car in Kinney County, deputies say.New images show dozens of migrants in custody after they were found packed in a train in the scorching heat on Friday in southwest Texas.
Deputies say at least 100 suspected migrants managed to escape, jumping from the train and scattering into the brush in Spofford, which is west of San Antonio. One migrant reportedly fainted from the extreme temperatures of the train but was caught by officers before she hit the ground.Pictures posted by the Kinney County Sheriff's Office show the migrants on top of each other in those train cars.
Migrants have been crossing the border at an accelerated rate, with Title 42 set to expire in just one week. President Joe Biden has sent troops to the border, but his critics, including Governor Abbott, said that will do almost nothing to stop the surge because the troops aren't conducting law enforcement work.
