Death Toll in Texas Train Migrant Smuggling Incident Rises to Seven After Body Found near San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A body found near a railroad crossing in San Antonio on Monday is believed to be part of an illegal alien smuggling incident that resulted in the deaths of six others over the weekend. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar announced the discovery and provided details on the possible connection in a Monday press conference.

As reported by Breitbart Texas, the remains of six suspected illegal aliens were found on Sunday in a Union Pacific railway car at a railyard in Laredo, Texas, less than a mile from the Mexican border. Due to the state of decomposition present at the time of the discovery, authorities believe the bodies had been inside the railway car for some time. According to a source familiar with the investigation, authorities believe the illegal aliens boarded the train near Spofford, Texas, mistakenly believing the train to be headed north, into the U.S.
