A train loaded with migrants was stopped just outside of Uvalde, Texas, where authorities uncovered many of them suffocating.
Two migrants were found dead and at least 10 were hospitalized Friday after police in South Texas received a call that they were "suffocating" in a train car traveling near the U.S.-Mexico border.
The condition of all of those hospitalized was not immediately known. University Health in San Antonio tweeted that it had received two male patients, one in critical condition and one in serious condition. "We're still trying to determine if it was from someone inside the car," Rodriguez said. "We're assuming it was from inside one of the cars."after dozens of people were found in the back of a sweltering tractor-trailer that had been abandoned on the outskirts of San Antonio. The tragedy was the nation's deadliest smuggling episode on America's southern border, which led to officials vowing to step up policing efforts.
