Mexican agents accused of migrant abuse
Associated Press - December 31, 2008 3:53 PM ET
MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico's National Human Rights Commission says immigration agents locked a group of Central American migrants in a trailer after they refused to pay a bribe.
The commission is asking for a government investigation into the alleged abuse committed Feb. 14, 2007, against 10 Guatemalans and two Salvadorans, including a minor.
The commission says in a release Wednesday that the agents demanded each migrant pay $110 in exchange for being allowed to continue their illegal journey to the United States.
When the migrants refused, the agents allegedly locked them in a tractor-trailer for six hours. The commission says many were at the point of passing out.
Immigration officials could not be reached for comment.
