WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden says the deaths of migrants who were in the back of a tractor-trailer in Texas is “horrifying and heartbreaking.” At least 50 people died after being left in the back of a tractor-trailer in San Antonio, where temperatures approached 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday. Biden said Tuesday: “Initial reports are that this tragedy was caused by smugglers or human traffickers who have no regard for the lives they endanger and exploit to make a profit.” The Democratic president says the tragedy shows the need to disrupt human smuggling networks.
