Death rose to 50 people

The number of immigrants in the U.S. Dizhou truck rose to 50 people

According to US media reports on the 28th, US law enforcement officers found in a large truck carriage in a large truck carriage in San Antonio, Sexus on the 27th to 50. This is one of the worst immigration deaths in the United States in recent years.

According to reports, officials of the incident said on the 28th that in addition to the 46 immigrant remains found in large trucks, 4 other people died after being sent to the hospital. The deceased includes 39 men and 11 women. Mexican Foreign Minister EBrad said in social media that 22 of the 50 deceased came from Mexico, 7 were from Guatemala, 2 were from Honduras, and the remaining 19 people had not confirmed it.

It is reported that there were nearly 100 people in the carriage when the 18 -wheeled truck was found on the evening of the 27th. There is no water in the carriage, and the air conditioner is not working. At least 16 people were sent to local hospitals for heat stroke and dehydration, including 4 minors.

According to the "San Antonio News Express", the "identity" of the large truck was forged. Some people use the same identification number and body color of the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Communications of the United States to "cloned" the car registered by the US Department of Transportation and the Ministry of Communications of the Dezhou, which is obviously to avoid the authorities' investigation. The police had arrested 3 people on the evening of the 27th, and it was unclear that the three were related to the incident.

Since June, Dezhou's heat waves have rolled. According to the meteorological department, San Antonio's highest temperature on the 27th reached 38 degrees Celsius. Media reports said that in the crowded carriage, the actual temperature was higher.

The latest data from the US government shows that in May this year, US border law enforcement officers arrested nearly 240,000 illegal immigrants at the US -Mexico border, a record high.

Dezhou is located in the south of the United States and borders Mexico. In July 2017, a truck with 39 immigrants was found in a supermarket parking lot in San Antonio. There was no water and air -conditioning in the car. 10 people died of heat stroke, suffocation and dehydration.
