Trooper disrupted a human smuggling attempt on RR 334 in Kinney County. The trooper arrested the driver, from Pasadena, after multiple illegal immigrants fled from the vehicle. The trooper attempted to detain one of the illegal immigrants who pushed & struggled against the trooper. A search of the vehicle revealed two unaccompanied children from Mexico, ages 7 & 9, in the cargo area.

The driver, Francisco Alanis Jr., a confirmed Tango Blast gang member, faces charges for human smuggling.

The passenger, J. Isabel De Nova Bautista, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, faces charges for evading & resisting arrest.

The driver was transporting the illegal immigrants to Houston. The children were going to be smuggled to California.

Great work by the trooper in stopping this human smuggling attempt & rescuing the children.
