Five people in Texas have been charged with participating in an alleged smuggling operation after 97 migrants were found in a single Houston home.
The discovery by Texas police shocked the community which is more than 300 miles from the nearest border crossing with Mexico.
All five of those charged are in the US illegally, according to US officials.
It comes after the month of March saw the most border crossings in 20 years and a surge of children arriving.
In a statement, acting US Attorney Jennifer Lowery said the suspects are all accused of “harbouring, concealing and shielding illegal aliens for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain”.
