Human smuggling is one of the most frequent criminal activities on the US-Mexico border, which is why authorities are intensifying their efforts to detect and arrest those who cross groups of migrants on a daily basis.
In this constant battle between Border Patrol and criminals Some persecutions are recorded, such as the one that was recently broadcast on social networks.
It is a video in which a group of human traffickers, also known as “polleros”, tries to escape from border agents on the limits of the Rio Grande.
In the images you can see the patrol chasing the truck at maximum speed along a dirt road, but Seeing that they were about to be captured, the traffickers resorted to a desperate measure.
And it is that, as if it were a movie, the criminals decided to get into the river with everything and truck. Once in the water, four subjects got out of the vehicle and jumped into the river looking to continue fleeing from the authorities.
Clinging to escape, they continued their journey in the river, some swimming and others holding on to the truck thinking they would go further. It is unknown when the video dates, however, it drew attention because of the way everything unfolded.
It should be noted that the video was recorded by a person who was on the Mexican sideand for which it was perfectly captured how those who fled began to swim towards the shore where the content was recorded.
The video, which lasts about a minute, is set to music with a song by the Huracanes del Norte titled El Gato de Chihuahua, which is a corrido about someone who must escape DEA agents.
