The alleged driver of a truck carrying dozens of migrants who died in the suffocating heat in Texas this week initially tried to pass himself off as a victim to escape authorities before he was arrested, U.S. and Mexican officials said on Wednesday.
The death toll in the incident rose to 53 as some migrants who had been trapped in the sweltering tractor-trailer, which as left in a desolated area near a highway in San Antonio, died in the hospital, local officials said.
U.S. authorities detained two Mexican men in addition to the driver who were arrested leaving a house in San Antonio. On Wednesday, U.S. prosecutors were moving ahead with weapons charges against them. The first was in the town of Encinal, 40 miles north of Laredo, and the second in Cotulla, 30 miles farther north.
Garduno said on Wednesday that 14 Hondurans, seven Guatemalans and two Salvadorans died alongside the 27 Mexican fatalities reported a day earlier.
