Mexico stops truck with 121 Central American migrants bound for U.S.


Immigration authorities in southern Mexico stopped a truck carrying 121 Central American migrants with signs of asphyxiation and dehydration, the National Migration Institute said in a statement on Thursday.

Migration officials stopped the truck during a routine operation in the southern state of Tabasco, and were alerted to the migrants inside when they heard screams for help. Of the 121 Central Americans they discovered, 55 were minors, with 23 girls and 32 boys.
