Human Smuggling Ring In Central Texas Broken Up

Two people I know have had their trucks stolen. The trucks were found near the US/Mexico border on the US side, missing their backseats and consoles. One still had the owner's wallet (with cash) inside when it was found. We were all wondering why they would be found in this condition.

It turns out, they were probably used for smuggling people. F250 and F350 crew cabs were being stolen from Central Texas, their consoles and rear seats were being removed, and then they could stuff more people in the truck. Anyhow, 9 trucks are currently being held by ICE, and the ring has been busted up.

Why they were smuggling people OUT of the country, if they were, is an interesting question.
