Mexican Army Rescues 54 Central American Migrants

Mexico - The Mexican Army rescued a group of 54 Central American migrants that sought to arrive in the United States national territory and who stayed kidnapped by illegal traffickers in a local of Reynosa, northern state of Tamaulipas.

In accordance with an official statement Thursday by the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic, the dealers demanded their victims 3,000 dollars per person to liberate them and facilitate their access to the state of Texas.

In the operation five traffickers were captured, the report said, and added that among the liberated people there were nine women and a Mexican man.

The rest of the illegal migrants, retained for 20 days, come from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua.

In the operation against traffickers, it was known that the illegal emigrants had been transferred to Tamaulipas from the states of Tabasco and Veracruz, in the south, after demanding them the payment mentioned to be introduced illegally in US.

Although the Prosecutor Office maintained at the moment the anonymity on the identity of the band, the Central American illegal migrants told the press that all the members are Mexican.
