*At least 51 migrants were found dead inside of a sweltering hot 18-wheeler near San Antonio Monday afternoon. Two men have been charged in connection with the deaths, according to criminal complaints filed in US District Court for the Western District of Texas.
According to reports, the smugglers are said to have driven the migrants into Texas by pretending to be workers for a local company. Juan Claudio D’Luna-Mendez and Juan Francisco D’Luna-Bilbao have been charged with “possession of a weapon by an alien illegally in the United States,” according to the criminal complaints that were filed the same day the migrants were found.
Authorities believe the two men cloned the semi-truck of a legit business in the Rio Grande Valley in order to skirt law enforcement.
According to the New York Post, the victims in the truck were allegedly sprinkled with steak seasoning and other spices to mask their odor.
