Kinney County Sheriff’s deputies found an estimated 150 migrants stowed away on a freight train near Spofford, Texas, hoping to escape the border region.
The deputies summoned additional law enforcement officers to assist in boarding and searching the rail cars on Friday afternoon. In all, 86 migrants were removed from the train and turned over to the Border Patrol. An estimated 70 or more migrants managed to run onto nearby ranches and escape from the authorities.
The sheriff told Breitbart Texas that the migrant group on board the freight train was one of the largest he has seen. Coe, a retired Border Patrol manager and current Sheriff of Kinney County is no stranger to dealing with migrant traffic in the county. “What struck me as surprising is that some were not hidden and were openly riding on the roof of the cars — that’s unusual,” he emphasized.
“With this many people on a freight train, the potential for death or serious injury is worrying” the sheriff explained.
