INVADER NEWS: 17 People Found Hidden In ‘cloned Lowe’s truck’ Being Transported Into the US Illegally; Wild Video Shows 17 Migrants Crammed in 3-Foot Compartment of Fake Lowe’s Truck Near Mexican Border

17 people found hidden in ‘cloned Lowe’s truck’ being transported into the US illegally:
A 28-year-old man was arrested for human smuggling causing serious bodily injury
The Texas Department of Public Safety found 17 migrants hidden in a fake Lowe’s Home Improvement store truck. Texas DPS South video shows the moment those 13 men and 4 women were found.
DPS South calls it a “cloned truck” because it’s made to look like a commercial vehicle on the outside with adjustments made on the inside to transport and conceal people.
“When the trooper made contact with the driver, the trooper noticed there were some discrepancies with the driver, with the truck itself,” Lieutenant Christopher Olivarez said. “After, a search of the truck revealed that there was a false compartment within the cargo area of the truck. … When the trooper was able to inspect that compartment, there was no air circulation.”
No one died in this incident, but multiple people were treated for dehydration.
“I can tell you for certain that trooper prevented a mass casualty smuggling event,” Olivarez said.
Olivarez mentioned that troopers are doing what they can to patrol highways to prevent an incident like San Antonio had in 2022 when 53 migrants died in the back of a trailer.
The driver was 28-year-old Megel Patterson from Jackson, Mississippi. Patterson is charged with human smuggling causing serious bodily injury. --->READ MORE HERE
Wild video shows 17 migrants crammed in 3-foot compartment of fake Lowe’s truck near Mexican border:
Texas police found seventeen illegal migrants crammed inside a 3-foot hidden compartment of a semi-truck masquerading as a Lowe’s transport Friday.
Incredible bodycam footage shows the moment troopers ripped down the false wall, revealing the group of smuggled immigrants.
Texas Department of Safety cops caught the cloned truck just across the US-Mexican border in Kinney County, after noticing it was traveling with expired tags, the video shows.
Driver Megel Cazanna Patterson — who was wearing a Lowe’s branded T-shirt — explained he was just the driver and had no explanation for anything that concerned the truck before fatefully consenting for a full search of the vehicle.
Officers climbed into the semi-trailer, which suspiciously only contained several white doors.
That’s when an eagle-eyed trooper noticed that one of the trailer’s walls had new wood lining the bottom — and the team of cops gave it a rough tug to reveal the feet of several migrants hiding behind the fake wall. --->READ MORE HERE
