Dozens of illegal aliens were pulled out of a tanker trailer at a truck stop in Texas this week.
The disturbing incident unfolded just before 1 a.m. on Wednesday morning in Eagle Pass, just three miles from the southern border.
“A group of 26 migrants was rescued early this Wednesday morning after it was abandoned inside a tanker at a gas station located at the Eagle Pass exit,” Border Hawk correspondent Efraín González reported.

A Maverick County Sheriff’s Office deputy on patrol heard screams coming from a tanker truck parked at Pilot Travel Center on Highway 57.
Deputies opened hatches atop the tanker and saw people inside.
The occupants were removed from the trailer and examined by medics at the scene. No injuries were reported.
They were determined to be citizens of Ecuador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico who were smuggled into the U.S.
