Mexican authorities successfully rescued 123 migrants from South and Central America, including 34 children, who were discovered confined inside a locked trailer.
The incident occurred in Matehuala, a city in the central state of San Luis Potosi, on Wednesday. The discovery was made after a local resident heard distress calls emanating from the container, according to Mexico’s immigration agency.
The majority of the rescued migrants originated from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador. Additionally, there were four individuals from Ecuador and one Cuban national among those rescued, as confirmed by officials.
