The National Security Commission (CNS) reported that the Federal Police arrested fours suspects of transporting 40 migrants to the city of Guaymas, in northern Sonora, on board a bus.
The officers detained the vehicle on the Ciudad Obregón-Hermosillo road after it ignored orders to stop.
While checking the vehicle, the officers determined that 35 of the passengers, including 10 women and 16 children, could not demonstrate their legal residence in the country. On a second check, they found other tree teens and two adults hidden in the luggage compartment.
The CNS determined that nine of the migrants come from El Salvador, three from Honduras and 28 from Guatemala. They are being provided protection by the National Migration Institute while their immigration status is assessed before they are returned to their countries.
Both the drivers of the bus, as well as a man and a woman identified by the migrants as the people they met in Mexico City in order to travel to Guaymas, were put under arrest.
