U.S. Customs and Border Protection says Monday afternoon they discovered 33 immigrants hidden in box trucks at the Javier Vega checkpoint near Sarita.
In a news release, CBP says the first driver was ordered to undergo a secondary inspection when 20 immigrants were discovered in the cargo area.
Moments later, agents stopped a second box truck and discovered 13 immigrants hidden inside.
Monday night, agents working at the Falfurrias checkpoint were told of a lost and injured immigrant who called 911 for help, according to the release.
