The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says two people found dead in a railroad car in south Texas were Honduran men
in south Texas were Honduran men, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Saturday, indicating it was investigating the case as possible human smuggling.
The two dead were among 17 people — 15 men and two women — found Friday in what Union Pacific railroad said were two rail cars near Knippa, Texas, about 70 miles west of San Antonio and less than 100 miles from the U.S. border with Mexico, according to Pruneda’s statement. Four of the survivors found in the cars were taken to hospitals, Pruneda said. Their nationalities and conditions were not released.
Officials at other hospitals in the area either had no patients from the train or did not respond to messages seeking comment Saturday.
