18-year-old female from El Salvador says she was promised $4,000 to smuggle group of Mexicans into U.S.
Authorities announced a slew of recent human smuggling busts in a Texas border county, at least two of which involved illegal aliens transporting fellow illegals.
On Saturday, Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez shared information about a pursuit and bailout that had taken place days prior in Kinney County.
On December 4, a male illegal alien from Honduras was arrested, along with two illegal migrants from Mexico.
Footage released by TxDPS shows the trio bail out of a Chevrolet Camaro in a residential neighborhood and attempt to flee on foot before being chased down and arrested on private property.

The illegal migrants were turned over to U.S. Border Patrol.
On Monday, Lt. Olivarez shared video and photos from a pair of back-to-back busts in Kinney County.
