On Sunday, the Coahuila authorities reported that a trailer truck with 82 Cubans who were hiding in order to reach the border with the United States was detained by the Mexican police.

The police were on federal highway 57, in the municipality of Monclova, said police stopped the trailer truck in which many Cuban immigrants were to form clandestinely, there were 42 men, 28 women and 12 minors. All the people who were in the truck are in excellent health conditions.

The Mexican authorities gave the information to different authorities so that each person traveling in the truck could be treated, they could also investigate the facts and see those responsible for the case, several entities and people in the country were informed of the case:

  • Secretary of National Defense.

  • Health Secretary.

  • National Guard.

  • National Immigration Institute.

  • The State Attorney General's Office and the Monclova City Council.

  • The Attorney General of the Republic.

Explanations from the Government of Coahuila

“The medical attention of those who require it will be privileged, and later it will be the National Institute of Migration who determines where they will be protected to guarantee their integrity.”

Last week the National Immigration Institute granted visas to seven Cubans for humanitarian reasons, there were also 57 more Cubans who were abandoned in a container of a trailer in the same city. All the immigrants were saved by the Coahuila agents, in the trailer there were no health conditions, they had no water, no ventilation, and a thermal sensation of 40 degrees.

Of the 57 people who were in the trailer abandoned by the mimes coyotes who were guiding it to its destination in the United States, 14 were transferred instantly after being detained to a hospital and a lady of choice, a lady with Nicaraguan nationality, the death of the lady was caused by multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, the deceased was also pregnant and lost her baby on the journey. The INM will take care of the funeral expenses and be able to return the body of the lady to her country and family.

INM condemns the coyotes who are dealing with immigrants from all over the world

A few months ago, for most people, being able to achieve the American dream is the highest priority in their lives and they do not stop to think about all the consequences that may occur halfway, the INM accuses all the coyotes, guides or smugglers that are in the illegal trafficking of people, said coyotes play with the needs of people and take advantage of how vulnerable they are, said coyotes that abandoned their clients halfway, kidnap them to be able to ask their relatives for money, ask thousands of dollars, they even get killed if they don't receive what they ask for, the life of every migrant who dreams of reaching the United States is sad, these coyotes don't care about the life of any immigrant, they don't even respect women, children and men for them are just an entry of money.

It is no less true that thousands of Cubans have been leaving their island for months to flee from the huge dictatorship they are experiencing, the mining they face in their country and the sadness of not being able to give their family a decent future as the one that every person in the world deserves, but for that reason they do not stop deporting Cubans to their country every day and there they lose everything, thousands and thousands of Cubans leave Cuba selling everything, houses, cars, everything turns and they have to be on the streets like he says, it's sad but true.

The authorities of Mexico this past March 9 returned 79 Cubans, with a total in general this year of 596 people.
