Over 250 Migrants Found in US-Bound Truck in Mexico

Mexican authorities discovered the migrants in a double trailer truck in Chihuahua, highlighting the ongoing dangers of human smuggling.

The migrants, of various nationalities, were found by immigration agents and military personnel at a checkpoint in Chihuahua state.
The driver of the truck has been handed over to the public prosecutor's office, while the migrants are being processed to verify their immigration status.
This incident underscores the perilous methods used by smugglers, with overcrowded trucks posing significant risks to migrants' safety.
The discovery comes amid heightened concerns among migrants about stricter asylum policies following Donald Trump's recent election victory.
