Mexico finds 103 migrants abandoned in freight trailer
Updated 10:57 am, Friday, February 23, 2018
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican immigration agents say they have found 103 Central American migrants in a freight trailer left by a roadside near the U.S. border.
Mexico's National Immigration Institute said Friday the trailer was found near Ciudad Camargo, across the border from Rio Grande City, Texas.
The container had apparently been abandoned by migrant traffickers, and a passing military patrol heard people pounding on the walls and calling for help.
The migrants included 91 Hondurans, seven Guatemalans and five Salvadorans.
