Chaotic border chase ends with illegal immigrants found crammed in semitruck sleeping area

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A traffic stop and chaotic chase involving Texas state troopers and suspected human smugglers led to the discovery of nearly two dozen illegal immigrants, including several minors, in the back of a semitruck near the U.S. southern border.
In a video posted by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez, a suspected human smuggler is seen jumping out of a Volvo semitruck and running as troopers chase him down. The incident occurred after a state trooper conducted a traffic stop Monday evening in Webb County, South Texas.
Olivarez said that the driver attempted to flee on foot but was «immediately arrested» by Texas officials. A search of the semitruck revealed 20 illegal immigrants concealed in the truck’s sleeping area.
The video shows troopers pulling back the truck cabin’s curtain to find the illegal immigrants crammed inside. The immigrants remained silent, only nodding as troopers questioned them. Four minors from Mexico and Guatemala were among the group, according to DPS.

According to Olivarez, the driver was Miguel Angel Velazquez Chavez, a 25-year-old Mexican national. He was charged with evading arrest and smuggling persons and booked into the Webb County Jail.
Meanwhile, the 20 illegal immigrants, including the four minors, were referred to U.S. Border Patrol. The DPS Criminal Investigations Division is continuing to investigate the case.
This comes as Texas officials have continued to respond to human smuggling incidents despite dramatically reduced attempted border crossing numbers under President Donald Trump.

In nearby Maverick County, Texas, troopers arrested Cuban national Yoisdelvis Nunez Acosta after a high-speed chase that ended with law enforcement performing a PIT maneuver. Acosta fled into nearby brush but was quickly apprehended. Another suspect, American national Alexander Rodriguez Acosta, was also arrested in connection with the smuggling operation. Both men were charged with six counts of smuggling persons, while six illegal immigrants from Mexico and Vietnam were referred to U.S. Border Patrol.
Both attempts occurred along a well-known human smuggling route at the southern border. In 2022, under the Biden administration, law enforcement discovered 53 dead immigrants abandoned inside a sweltering truck in nearby San Antonio. Authorities said the migrants suffered extreme heat exposure after being transported without adequate ventilation or water. The incident is considered one of the deadliest human smuggling incidents in U.S. history.

In response to criticism of the Trump administration’s border policies, Homan said in April, «If they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got raped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change.»
«Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved,» he emphasized. «He’s saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border.»

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The new head of Hamas’ military wing has been taken out by Israeli forces in an airstrike.
Mohammed Odeh, who was «responsible for planning and coordinating Hamas terrorists’ infiltration and attack targets during the October 7 Massacre,» was killed in an operation in northern Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces announced Wednesday.
«Odeh served as the Head of Hamas’ military wing following the elimination of Izz al-Din al-Haddad,» according to the IDF, which shared a photo showing Odeh among other now-deceased Hamas leadership.
«Odeh was responsible for the murder, abduction, and wounding of many Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers,» Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a joint statement. «We will continue to pursue anyone who took part in the October 7 massacre. Sooner or later, Israel will reach them all.»

Haddad was eliminated by an Israeli Air Force strike in Gaza City earlier this month, military officials said.
«The IDF will continue to pursue our enemies, strike them, and hold accountable everyone who took part in the October 7 Massacre. We will not relent until we reach them all — this is our duty to all those who returned and to all our civilians,» IDF Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir was quoted as saying following Haddad’s death.
The IDF said, «Following the elimination of his predecessors, Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Sinwar,» Haddad had «assumed control of Hamas and worked to rebuild its military capabilities and infrastructure — a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement.»

«Haddad was one of the longest-serving commanders in Hamas and played a key role in its terrorist rule. He climbed the ranks and advanced into crucial positions, then was tasked with coordinating and planning the October 7 Massacre invasion,» the IDF said in the announcement of Haddad’s death.

«Throughout the war, he was involved in the holding of many Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity,» the IDF added.
«In every conversation I held with the hostages who returned, the name of the arch-terrorist Izz al-Din al-Haddad… came up again and again,» Zamir said.

Guerra en Medio Oriente: Irán divulgó un borrador de acuerdo de paz y EE.UU. lo calificó de “total invención”

La Casa Blanca calificó de “total invención” un borrador de acuerdo divulgado por la televisión estatal iraní que incluía la reapertura del tráfico en el estrecho de Ormuz por parte de Teherán a cambio del fin del bloqueo estadounidense a buques iraníes y la retirada de sus tropas.
“Este informe de medios controlados por Irán no es cierto y es una total invención. Nadie debería creer lo que está publicando la prensa estatal iraní. LOS HECHOS IMPORTAN”, dijo Washington en la red X.
Según la cadena estatal iraní, el texto de una página es “preliminar” y esboza “el memorando de entendimiento” entre los dos países para poner fin a la guerra.
En el memorando, Irán se comprometería a restablecer el tráfico marítimo comercial a través del estrecho de Ormuz a los niveles previos a la guerra en el plazo de un mes, algo que Teherán gestionaría con Omán.
Por su parte, Estados Unidos levantaría el cerco a puertos y buques iraníes que estableció como represalia al bloqueo de Ormuz y retiraría sus tropas de las cercanías de Irán.
Tras ello, los dos países se darían un plazo de 60 días para negociar el resto de cuestiones, como el programa nuclear iraní.
Donald Trump pone nuevas condiciones
Tras la versión, Trump puso más condiciones para llegar a un acuerdo.
Hablando en una reunión de gabinete en la Casa Blanca, Trump dijo que no estaba apurado por poner fin a la guerra. “Irán está empeñado, quieren mucho llegar a un trato. Hasta ahora no lo han logrado. No estamos aún satisfechos con ello, pero lo estaremos”, dijo Trump.
“O eso, o simplemente tendremos que terminar el trabajo”, afirmó, en referencia a las amenazas de reanudar las operaciones militares que Estados Unidos e Israel lanzaron el 28 de febrero y suspendieron en abril.

Además, descartó la posibilidad de cerrar un acuerdo con Irán que permita a la República Islámica ejercer control alguno sobre el estrecho de Ormuz, clave para el comercio mundial de petróleo.
“Son aguas internacionales, nadie las va a controlar. Vamos a vigilarlas. Las vigilaremos, pero nadie las va a controlar. A ellos les gustaría controlarlas”, agregó.
Trump negó además que se esté negociando un eventual alivio de sanciones o el desbloqueo de fondos iraníes congelados.

“No, no estamos hablando de ningún alivio de sanciones ni de dar dinero. Ni sanciones, ni dinero, ni nada”, afirmó.
El presidente aseguró que las negociaciones con Irán están “yendo muy bien” y volvió a amenazar con retomar la ofensiva militar, suspendida desde abril tras un alto el fuego, si el diálogo fracasa.
“Nos está yendo muy bien. Creo que están empezando a darnos las cosas que tienen que darnos, y si lo hacen, será estupendo; y si no lo hacen, entonces el hombre a mi izquierda (el secretario de Defensa, Pete Hegseth) va a acabar con ellos”, dijo.
Pero además elevó las condiciones para llegar a un acuerdo. Así, condicionó la firma de un eventual acuerdo de paz con Irán a que aliados de Washington en Oriente Medio, como Arabia Saudita o Qatar, se adhieran a los Acuerdos de Abraham para normalizar relaciones con Israel.
“No estoy seguro de que debamos cerrar el acuerdo si no firman para unirse a los Acuerdos de Abraham”, declaróy afirmó que sus aliados le “deben” ese gesto.

Trump planteó esta cuestión el pasado sábado durante una conversación telefónica con líderes y representantes de Arabia Saudita, Baréin, Qatar, Egipto, Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Jordania, Pakistán y Turquía como parte de las negociaciones de paz con Irán.
“Nos gustaría que se sumaran a los Acuerdos de Abraham. Sería algo histórico si lo hicieran y, sinceramente, pienso que nos lo deben. Creo que sería realmente una señal tremenda, y pienso que esos países lo deben”, insistió.
Estados Unidos e Irán han intensificado durante la última semana las negociaciones, a través de los mediadores paquistaníes, para lograr un acuerdo que permita poner fin a la guerra iniciada en febrero y desbloquear el estrecho de Ormuz, aunque Trump plantea ahora también la adhesión de varios aliados, principalmente Arabia Saudita y Qatar, a los Acuerdos de Abraham.
Los Acuerdos de Abraham fueron impulsados durante el primer mandato de Trump (2017-2021) y permitieron el establecimiento de relaciones diplomáticas de Israel con Emiratos Árabes, Baréin, Sudán y Marruecos.
