Looking at this tactic, it’s clear. Smugglers don’t see people. They just see a commodity and $$$. https://t.co/HZgA70X6Kh pic.twitter.com/Q6WiyVTpxp

“Looking at this tactic, it’s clear. Smugglers don’t see people. They just see a commodity and $$$,” Chief Owens stated.
Uvalde Station Border Patrol agents took custody of the 46 migrants.
Another example of the dangerous tactics of the human smugglers occurred a few days earlier when a pursuit by Texas DPS ended in a rollover crash landing upside down in the Rio Grande.
Two weeks ago, a truck trying to evade Texas DPS crashed, injuring nine people. The driver absconded, but was later captured in Mexico and extradited back to the United States to answer for his crimes.

Owens said the crash resulted in injuries to nine migrants who were being smuggled in the vehicle. The driver fled across the river to Mexico.
Owens reported that Mexican law enforcement partners found the driver and extradited him back to the United States.
Smugglers have ZERO concern for human life.
This week, a vehicle chase initiated by our law enforcement partners ended when the driver lost control of the vehicle and struck another motorist. Among the lives endangered by these 2 smugglers: 1 innocent motorist & 5 subjects. pic.twitter.com/312LUtvAez

Already this week, agents of the Del Rio Sector have rescued over 120 subjects.
Whether on the water, in the desert, or locked in a conveyance, these smugglers show no regard for human life. BUT, WE DO. pic.twitter.com/rwAO3niRJb— Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens (@USBPChiefDRT) March 23, 2022
