MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican authorities found 175 migrants, mostly from Guatemala, crowded into a truck trailer in the southern state of Chiapas, the National Migration Institute (INM) said on Friday, in the latest mass human smuggling incident to be detected in the country.
Immigration agents heard yells and banging coming from inside the vehicle when it was stopped at a checkpoint in Chiapas, INM said in a statement.
Although the driver refused to open the truck's back door, the faces of migrants could be seen through vents in the compartment, INM said.
