60 illegal immigrants found in cold produce truck

After the high-profile and tragic deaths of immigrants locked inside trailers in sweltering heat, at least some smugglers have switched tactics.

Border patrol agents announced they found 60 immigrants inside a refrigerated truck early Saturday morning. The immigrants were found on pallets of produce that were coated in a layer of ice. The truck's internal temperature was measured at 49 degrees Fahrenheit, according to KRISTV.

IN COURT: Driver of deadly truck faces charges

The group contained 22 Guatemalans, 17 Mexicans, 13 Salvadorans and 8 Hondurans. Medical attention was given before they were transferred to the Falfurrias station to be processed. The driver of the truck was arrested and faces federal charges, according to telemundo47.

Last month three dozen people, 10 of whom died, were found in a truck trailer in a Wal-Mart parking lot in San Antonio. The deaths were reminiscent of a 2003 case in Victoria, Texas, in which 19 immigrants died. When Texas heat can reach heat indexes of over 100 degrees, the temperature inside these trucks can quickly become deadly.

Scroll through the gallery above for a look at some of the many ways immigrants have attempted to enter the United States.
