Migrants in San Antonio, Texas, had steak seasoning sprayed on them to hide the smell

The migrants inside the trailer in San Antonio, Texas, had been sprayed with hot spices for meat, in a possible attempt to hide the smell.

An official informed the local media Texas Tribune that some of the 50 corpses of the undocumented immigrants, at least 22 of them of Mexican origin, had steak seasoning.

According to local media, people smugglers often carry out this practice to reduce the smell of cargo and evade detection by dogs to arrive with migrants to the United States.

The San Antonio Express-News reported that someone “cloned” the transport carrying the migrants with the same colors and identification numbers from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Texas Department of Transportation to look like a trailer owned by a trucking company. transportation from South Texas, in an apparent effort to evade authorities.

Police received a call last night from a person who worked nearby, who heard a call for help from the 18-wheeler in the southwest of the city, approached and saw bodies inside the trailer with its doors partially open. About 100 people were reportedly inside the 18-wheeler.

Those who were alive were hot to the touch and suffered from heatstroke and exhaustion. There was also no sign of water inside the trailer, which was supposed to be refrigerated, but there were no visible air conditioners, San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood said.
