On July 22, 2017, in San Antonio, Texas, police found a truck in a Walmart parking lot with 39 illegal immigrants in its bed. A tractor had been transporting them undetected from the border town of Laredo to San Antonio. Because the cooling system inside the truck failed, resulting in extreme heat, eight people died during the transport, and two others succumbed to dehydration in the hospital.
