Migrant Tragedy: 46 Dead, 16 Hospitalized From 18-Wheeler In Texas
In yet another migrant tragedy, an 18-wheeler truck in San Antonio, Texas, was found with the bodies of 46 men and women. Other 16 people, 12 adults, and four children were rescued and sent to the hospital, where they are likely to survive although their condition is unknown as of now.
All the people inside the trailer were likely to be victims of another smuggling operation gone wrong, and are believed to be undocumented migrants. Meanwhile, fingers are being pointed at President Joe Biden. Here are all the tragic details.

In a live press conference via Facebook, Chief William P. McManus of the San Antonio Police Department shared details of the “horrific tragedy” on Monday. He said that they received the first call at 5:50 p.m. local time when an employee who worked at a nearby building heard a faint cry for help. when they came out to investigate, they saw a body outside the truck and called for the police.
Officials from the SAPD peered into the partially open truck doors and found 46 dead bodies and 16 individuals in varying conditions inside. The victims who were still alive were rushed to nearby hospitals after multiple police, fire trucks and ambulances responded to the scene, at the 9600 block of Quintana Road.
The tractor-trailer was abandoned near train tracks and an auto salvage yard and for now, it’s not clear as to how many people were actually inside, because it seems some individuals managed to escape. So not everyone has been accounted for, and while three people have been arrested, again, it’s not clear if they are wholly or partially to blame for the tragedy.
Homeland Security also released an official Tweet:
On June 27, #HSI responded to a call from @SATXPolice regarding an alleged human smuggling event involving a tractor trailer on Quintana Road near Cassin Road. Upon arrival, we confirmed more than 40 deceased individuals.

The Migrants Likely Died From The Heat

Temperatures in San Antonio reached a blazing 102-103 degrees and the victims in the 18-wheeler likely succumbed to a combination of heat stroke, dehydration, and more.
San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood also stated that the fire department was also called to the scene after someone reported a dead individual and when they arrived on the scene, it was disturbing. They found the trailer with one body outside and multiple bodies inside.
Said Chief Hood, “The patients that we saw were hot to the touch. They were suffering from exhaustion, with no signs of water in the vehicle. There was also no working air conditioning unit on the vehicle.”
He also said that none of the rescue personnel could imagine a scene like this, saying. “We’re not supposed to open up a truck and see stacks of bodies in there.”
San Antonio mayor Ron Nirenberg also tweeted:
Migrants seeking asylum should always be treated as a humanitarian crisis, but this evening we’re facing a horrific human tragedy.
More than 40 hopeful lives were lost. I urge you to think compassionately, pray for the deceased, the ailing, and their families at this moment.
— Mayor Ron Nirenberg (@Ron_Nirenberg) June 28, 2022
Mayor Nirenberg also added, “Our job is not to ask why. Our job is to ask how we can help. That’s why you’re seeing medical assistance. As far as the federal investigation goes, that’s in the hands of the feds. I’m sure there will be more questions and hopefully some answers as we move forward.”
Texas Has Begun To Blame President Joe Biden
San Antonio has begun to receive record numbers of migrants, as the federal government plans to provide $10.8 million in reimbursements through the Emergency Food and Shelter Program for hotel rooms, food, and a planned processing center.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott put the blame on Biden:
At Least 42 People Found Dead Inside Truck Carrying Migrants In Texas.
These deaths are on Biden.
They are a result of his deadly open border policies.
They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law. https://t.co/8KG3iAwlEk
