123 Migrants, Including 34 Children, Rescued from Locked Trailer in Mexico Amidst Ongoing Migrant Crisis

Discovery follows a local resident's report of hearing cries from the locked trailer; migrants provided food, medical assistance, and shelter as US grapples with over 2.2 million detentions at the border since last October.

123 migrants, including 34 children, from Central and South America were found trapped in a trailer in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, after a local resident reported hearing cries from the locked vehicle.
The rescued migrants were primarily from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador, with some from Ecuador and Cuba.
Rescue efforts were coordinated by Mexico's National Migration Institute, which provided the migrants with food, medical assistance, and temporary accommodation.
It is unclear if the rescued migrants are part of a larger 7,000-strong migrant caravan making its way from southern Mexico towards the United States.
Increased migration has led to over 2.2 million detentions at the US-Mexico border since October 2022, prompting criticism on the handling of the migrant crisis.
