37 undocumented immigrants were detained in Fort Worth,
Texas, after Union Pacific Railroad police conducting a routine inspection
discovered them last week hiding in large containers on a Dallas-bound train.
A few of the people on the train were believed to have escaped as police
tried to round them up. Officials
from the Mexican consulate said human smugglers were not believed to be
involved.

Forty-two illegal entrants were pulled unhurt out of a
moving truck in Arizona last week. U.S.
Border Patrol agents received a tip about a U-Haul truck on Highway 191.
When agents pulled the truck over, the driver and a passenger jumped out
and ran into the desert, according to a press release.
The passenger was caught and 42 people were pulled from the back of the
truck. Men, women and children were found in the moving truck, which
had a 3-inch hole cut into the roof for ventilations. The entrants were returned to Mexico and a commercial towing
company stored the truck.
