San Antonio Police Investigate Possible Human Smuggling South Side

San Antonio police are investigating a possible human smuggling operation after witnesses reported seeing around a dozen people jump out of an 18-wheeler truck near Quintana and Plumnear Roads on the city's South Side. Multiple individuals were seen fleeing the scene and entering other vehicles in an attempt to escape, prompting a swift response from local law enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations. Several people, including those believed to be driving the truck, have been detained, though no injuries or fatalities have been reported. The investigation is ongoing, with police conducting ground and aerial searches in the area, which is near the site of the country's deadliest human smuggling tragedy in 2022. Authorities have not yet determined what charges, if any, will be filed against the suspects. The case remains active, and officials continue to gather information.
