Texas-Bound Bus Holding 54 Migrants Stopped at Mexican Border Checkpoint
|
[Breitbart] Mexican authorities stopped a human smuggling attempt featuring a passenger bus to move 54 migrants toward the Texas border.
The case took place over the weekend in Altamira, Tamaulipas, where state police officers had set up a joint checkpoint with federal authorities.
Police found 54 migrants, including 13 underage teens and children, a statement from the Tamaulipas government revealed. The migrants were identified as being from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Cuba. Authorities also detained the driver, a woman, and another man who were Mexican nationals.
The Mexicans were turned over to federal authorities for an investigation into human smuggling while the migrants were given to the National Migration Institute to determine their legal statuses.
The detention comes days after Tamaulipas signed an agreement with Texas to step up counter-smuggling efforts in Mexico — a core income stream for the Gulf Cartel. Tamaulipas State Police confirmed several enforcement actions in recent days. The agreement followed a brief use of secondary checkpoints operated by Texas at the expense of international commerce delays.
