Mexico Intercepts 21 Migrants on U.S. Border



MEXICO CITY – Mexican marines detained 21 undocumented Latin American migrants in the northern city of Reynosa, just across the border from McAllen, Texas, officials said Tuesday.

The migrants were taken into custody Monday in a safe house where they were waiting to be shepherded across the border to the U.S., the Tamaulipas state government said.

Acting on an anonymous telephone tip, the marines went to the house and discovered the group, comprising nine Salvadorans, seven Guatemalans, four Ecuadorians and a Honduran.

Seven of the migrants are minors.

Authorities provided the migrants with medical assistance before turning them over to the immigration service for repatriation to their respective homelands, the Tamaulipas government said.
