The victims came from different Latin American countries. They still couldn’t find those responsible.
Mexican security forces found 49 migrants that they had been kidnapped earlier this week on a bus in the municipality of Matehuala, north of Mexico. Among the victims were women and children from Venezuela, Honduras, Brazil, Cuba, Haiti and El Salvador.
All were transferred to the delegation of the National Institute of Migration (INM) in San Luis Potosí, while investigations continue to find the kidnappers. The Secretary of National Defense, Luis Cresencio Sandovalindicated that the main concern is to find the drivers of the bus in which the migrants were traveling.
“We found some walking and others in some facilities, in some houses that were there in the area. we have no detaineesbut the migrants will give us some data that can help us identify the people who did this,” he said.

The bus had left Tapachula, in the southern state of Chiapas, which is often the gateway for migrants who arrive in Mexico with the intention of reach the border with the United States.
“The first migrants gave us the information that they had arrived at a gas station to refuel, and from there they had been approached by members of a organized crimeSandoval explained. The Matehuala area worries the Mexican government, since the presence of kidnapping gangs that are dedicated to attacking migrants is common.
The Mexican President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obradorspoke about this last incident, and confessed that it may be linked to the kidnapping of 121 migrants which occurred at the beginning of April in the same region.
