BANQUETE, Texas — Nine undocumented immigrants have been detained after they were taken into custody by law enforcement officials on a train near Banquete Tuesday morning.
Nueces County Constable Precinct Five units along with the Agua Dulce Marshall, Robstown Police Department officers and U.S. Border agents are involved in the incident.
The immigrants are from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.
Constable Precinct 5 Oscar Mendoza said in a social media post that these incidents are "happening more often these days."
