Seven migrant smuggling suspects have been arrested and 11 migrants are hospitalized after a law enforcement sting near San Antonio. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar says 26 migrants were found at a house in rural South Bexar County on Thursday. Salazar says 11 of them have been taken to hospitals with heat-related injuries. Authorities received a tip about a smuggling operation and followed a trailer that was towed to a rural residence. The sheriff says the migrants were packed into a false compartment under the trailer for three hours without water. Temperatures in San Antonio were in the high 90s Thursday afternoon.
