Chief Patrol Agent Austin Skero of the Del Rio Sector tweeted photos of the illegal immigrants packed in the trailer so tight they were nearly lying atop one another with barely room to move. Most of them held their arms down along their body to make more room in the space that appeared to be no more than 18 inches deep.

Alex Verdugo Had Himself A Day As Red Sox Sweep Doubleheader Vs. Twins
BOSTON (CBS) — If anyone on the Red Sox is built to play a pair of 7-inning games, it’s Alex Verdugo. The 24-year-old is a ball of energy, and on Wednesday, he had himself a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins. Verdugo did it with his bat and his glove, helping the Red Sox sweep their twin bill against the Twins for the team’s eighth and ninth straight wins. He went 5-for-8 at the plate between the two games, driving in three runs and scoring a pair of his own. READ MORE: Red Sox Beat Twins 7-1 For Twinbill Sweep, 9th Straight Win Verdugo’s two singles in Game 1 didn’t factor into the 3-2 victory, but his last play of the game certainly did. Minnesota had the game-tying run on second base with two outs when Luis Arraez hit a sinking liner in Verdugo’s direction in left. Had the ball hit the ground, it would have easily scored Jake Cave and tied things at 3-3. But Verdugo had other plans. The left fielder sprawled out to make the diving grab, saving the win for Boston. … [Read more...] about Alex Verdugo Had Himself A Day As Red Sox Sweep Doubleheader Vs. Twins
