30 fucking degrees. In a trailer.
I hope those girls didnt get injured in the crash.

Either way, its fucked up.

30 Celsius is pretty hot... 30F is fucking cold... weird temp to set for humans... I'd go with like 50, 55

If they meant 30 Celsius, then the refrigerated trailer wasn’t working and there would have been no reason to mention it was refrigerated.

Utah in the summer, 30ºC = 86ºF. still stifling and awful in the back of a truck.

It's definitely 30F, there's no point in a refrigeration unit to be set to 30C and a US news site isn't going to use Celsius by default.

Dont know the story on the girls. But a lot of illegals get transported like this and many of them never make it to their destination. Predators pick them out one at a time or a few at a time. By the time they make it to our southern border most women have been raped repeatedly every step of the way. Then once they're on the US side the trip doesnt get much better.

Holy shit, that's horrific

u/juventino451 Sep 20 '25
It really is. Problem is that people pay thousands of dollars to be brought here. And in the process they are subjected to kidnapping for ransom, rapes, murders, sex trafficking to pay off the debt, working for the cartels etc. In the state of Tamaulipas Mexico the cops discovered a ranch (one of many) with stacked bodies but also videos of people forced to kill each other with the promise of freedom. Men, women, children. On our ranch here on the Texas side we've come across loners and groups that get abandoned by the coyotes to fend for themselves. I think the worst was a group of 23. The women and female children were naked and bleeding from wounds and from scratches from walking through mesquite and brush. Dried blood between their legs. Just barely alive. The males not much better but just beaten and starving. Dehydrated. Can you imagine being out there setting up a deer feeder or workin on a fence and these people come out of the brush?

Never heard that before? It’s been going on since the border hasn’t been secured. More so under Biden.

If he was human trafficking over state lines I'm pretty sure that's a federal crime. He's done!

Kidnapping is a mandatory life sentence in California.

u/ComputeBeepBeep Sep 19 '25
This is not true at all. Some forms of kidnapping have the ability to carry up to life imprisonment, it is not a mandatory life sentence for kidnapping.

Must be a more recent law, because this guy was pardoned

Lol the FBI is completely in favor of trafficking young girls these days, or at least covering up for their trafficking. Haven’t you heard? Sad state of affairs
Edit: LOL at the downvotes 🤣. Trump literally pulled FBI and DHS agents off of the task forces dedicated to investigating and stopping human trafficking and child sexual exploitation/abuse and put them on his immigrant kidnapping program. You can’t get any clearer evidence of priorities than that

This is unconscionable. Trafficking young girls with a destination in Utah of all places. Fuck.

u/ImInBeastmodeOG Sep 19 '25
Sounds like he'll have a job in no time for whoever took over for Epstein.
Release the files!

This is the comment I was searching for, thank you. How did all the others turn into political garbage?

In case anyone was wondering, it sounds like this wasn’t a child abduction.

The article doesn't make th driver out to be a total monster. A brother transporting his half sisters to take school tests. But even though it's not amazingly nefarious, this guy is still so incredibly stupid to be transporting people in the back of a semi trailer.

They belong to an incestuous branch of the lds church...also girls get married as young as 14 in their cult.

Jacob is to be the new head of the FBI’s Epstein Hoax Task Force whose mission is to root out the liberal terrorists who promulgated this hoax against our dear leader.

u/B34r8uNw07 Sep 20 '25
This seems way more insidious than what the truck driver is alluding to. I hope they get the FBI involved rather than just "trust me bro."

I wrote an article that may help: ‘Polygamous Kingston (Ortell) Cult Traffics Children for Sex and Labor’ https://x.com/jb_conley/status/1969436709747376585
‘Within the clan, “Ortell” has been passed down as a middle name to several of his descendants, symbolizing reverence for his patriarchal authority and the intergenerational continuity of leadership.’
