Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales took to social media to write about the incident, calling for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to resign.
“Today in San Antonio it was 102 degrees. Imagine being abandoned inside an 18-wheeler left to die - 42 people died today - will @AliMayorkas even mention their names?” he wrote.
“Death count rises to 46 with another 16 in the hospital, to include 4 kids. Lord when will the nightmare end,” Gonzales said, adding, “Spoiler alert - @SecMayorkas is the one responsible. RESIGN.”
Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas responded to the incident on Twitter, calling the human smugglers “callous.”
“I am heartbroken by the tragic loss of life today and am praying for those still fighting for their lives,” Mayorkas wrote. “Far too many lives have been lost as individuals – including families, women, and children – take this dangerous journey.”
“Human smugglers are callous individuals who have no regard for the vulnerable people they exploit and endanger in order to make a profit.”
We will work alongside our partners to hold those responsible for this tragedy accountable and continue to take action to disrupt smuggling networks,” the official vowed.
I am heartbroken by the tragic loss of life today and am praying for those still fighting for their lives. Far too many lives have been lost as individuals – including families, women, and children – take this dangerous journey.
