NEW: DPS Finds 23 Illegal Immigrants Stuffed Inside Truck Cab in La Salle Co.
On 11-28-2025, a @TxDPS Trooper stopped a Freightliner truck tractor on I-35 in La Salle Co. The driver, John David Amaya, 24, of Laredo, was operating without a CDL.
With help from a Border Patrol K-9, the trooper discovered 23 illegal immigrants packed inside the vehicle’s sleeping area.
Amaya was arrested and charged with 23 counts of Smuggling of Persons (3rd-degree felony). The illegal immigrants — from Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico — were referred to U.S. Border Patrol.
This is part of DPS’ ongoing commitment to border security under Operation Lone Star 2.0. As a reminder, Gov. @GregAbbott_TX, who signed legislation in 2023 creating a mandatory 10-year minimum prison sentence for convicted smugglers, if convicted, Amaya could face significant prison time.
