The migrant group included 43 unaccompanied minors, the chief reported. The youngest child is reported to be five years old. The agents transported all of the migrants — citizens of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, to the Tucson Station for processing.
Elsewhere on the Arizona border, Nogales Station agents assigned to the Interstate 19 immigration checkpoint found a group of migrants locked inside the trunk of a sedan, Modlin tweeted.

“Smugglers continue to have no regard for human life and risk safety for their monetary gain,” Chief Modlin stated.
Late last week, a Tucson Sector agent traveling home after a 10-hour shift observed a group of migrants getting into a vehicle on I-19. The agent notified the I-19 checkpoint agents who sent a vehicle to conduct a traffic stop. As a result, the agents took seven migrants into custody.
