The only safe way to enter the United States is through a designated Port of Entry. Do not trust smugglers, their interest is only in their business model. They will put you in life threatening situations and they will abandon you when your life depends on them,” said Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Carl E. Landrum.
Right before the woman was hurt, agents apprehended three other individuals walking toward Port Laredo before they could jump onto a moving train.
Despite the danger of using trains as a form of transportation into the United States illegally, undocumented individuals continue to take the risk. Sometimes, they even have children in tow.
