Texas authorities say they arrested a suspected human smuggler from Mexico who has already been caught illegally present in the U.S. on at least 13 prior occasions.
On Thursday, Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) troopers and Border Patrol agents encountered a group of illegal aliens in the Rio Grande Valley.

âMembers of the TxDPS Brush Team & USBP K9 tracked & arrested a smuggling foot guide hiding inside a drainage pipe who smuggled 3 illegal immigrants by raft across the Rio Grande in Mission,â TxDPS spokesman Lt. Christ Olivarez explained in a statement.
