Bodies of 46 migrants found in truck near San Antonio
Dozens of migrants were found dead by law enforcement inside a tractor-trailer.
Officials confirmed a total of 46 bodies were found in the back of a commercial truck parked roughly 3 miles southwest of downtown San Antonio, roughly an hour's drive south of Austin, according to My San Antonio.
Fire Chief Charles Hood said a further 16 people, 12 adults and four children, were transported to local hospitals suffering from heat-related injuries.
"Patients that we saw were hot to the touch," Hood said, according to the outlet, adding that he did not know how long the people had been in the trailer.
Police Chief William McManus said three people are in custody but that it is unclear whether they are connected to the incident.
The investigation has now been turned over to the Department of Homeland Security.
The people who died in the tractor-trailer are migrants who are believed to have been transported as part of a human smuggling operation, according to multiple law enforcement agencies, per Fox News.

These people are part of Joe Biden's open borders legacy. He would be remembered for their plight and that of others who died along the way to the US. They will go along with the bodies found by ranchers along the Texas border.
