Les garde-frontières participent aux investigations, a précisé leur chef Chris Magnus, pour qui le drame illustre «le désespoir des migrants prêts à mettre leur vie entre les mains de passeurs insensibles». Une enquête fédérale a été ouverte pour «soupçons de trafic d’êtres humains», a annoncé le ministère de la Sécurité intérieure. Le maire de la ville, Ron Nirenberg, a déploré «une horrible tragédie» et espéré que les responsables «seront poursuivis dans toutes les limites de la loi». Selon les premiers éléments de l’enquête, «cette tragédie a été causée par des passeurs ou des trafiquants» qui «exploitent» les migrants «sans respect pour leur vie», a commenté son homologue américain dans un communiqué. «Les trafiquants d’êtres humains exploitent nos frontières ouvertes et les plus vulnérables le paient de leur vie», a renchéri le sénateur texan Ted Cruz.
