Screaming coming from abandoned tanker trailer reveals 26 migrants

26 migrants were discovered inside of a tanker trailer abandoned outside a Texas border town on Wednesday morning. 

The migrants were discovered on September 4th on the outskirts of Eagle Pass, Texas.

According to Breitbart, concerned citizens called police when they heard banging and yelling coming from a parked tanker trailer. Officers arrived at the scene to find 26 migrants sealed inside of the tanker trailer, gasping for air, banging on the sides, and yelling for help. It was around 80 degrees outside of the trailer at the time of the discovery. 

In interviews with officers, the migrants revealed that they had been brought to the trailer in smaller groups in preparation for a longer trip to San Antonio. The trailer was parked approximately three miles from the border with Mexico. 

Several of the migrants were taken to a hospital for treatment and were later released to border patrol, along with the other migrants. 

No further information has been released.
