Eight Dominican immigrants detained in Mexico


TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico.- Eight Dominican illegal immigrants traveling in the hidden compartment of a cargo truck were arrested by the Mexican police in the south eastern state of Chiapas yesterday, says the Mexican federal prosecutor’s office.

The Dominican citizens were hidden in a consignment of bananas, according to arresting officers.

The would-be immigrants were holding Canadian passports and a series of false documents. Their plan was to cross Mexican territory in order to enter the United States.
