"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
Good evening. It has been more than 75 hours since 31 migrants were kidnapped by armed men on Saturday night on a stretch of road in Tamaulipas. And as of tonight there has been no word of them. Just earlier today President Lopez Obrador touched on the subject. But this is one more kidnapping, one more kidnapping that seems to be a constant on the northern highways of Mexico. 3 days after this event there is still no information about who took them and whether they’re still alive or not.
On December 30 at 7:26 p.m. one of the drivers of bus # 9570 of the company Grupo Senda left Reynosa for Matamoros with 36 people on board. Soon after a call was made to the 911 emergency line that a group of armed men aboard 5 vehicles intercepted them on the Reynosa - Matamoros. Highway. They forced 31 passengers to get off and took them away in the 5 vehicles to an unknown destination. Initial reports indicated that the passengers who were abducted are migrants of different nationalities.
Their names are not known. It has been reported that the bus company Grupo Senda sold them the tickets without asking them for identification as the rest of the bus lines are known to do. They were on their way to their appointment to request humanitarian aid in the United States. At least three of them were children under 3 years of age. The criminals left 5 people on the bus. After the emergency call, the two drivers and three Mexican passengers were helped and escorted to the Matamoros bus terminal. The search for the 31 migrants on one of the most dangerous highways in the country continues so far without any results. The main hypothesis is that they were abducted to be extorted.
According to a post on Valor Tamaulipeco they have been found safe.

ReplyDeleteNo. They were abducted because in the area of Tamps narcos there want to help migrants.
ReplyDeleteNarcos would not harm them
Heck this was the birthplace of the Zetas that killed 50 of these at one time.
4:55 was the mass murder of 72 undocumented immigrants not 50
DeleteWhat about the 191 in tamp as well. This is something that’s happened in this area for a long time. Zetas claim they did it cause they (migrants )would help out Golfo

Deletefacepalm. of course they were abducted for money. In other news, tomorrow we will have daylight.
ReplyDeleteWhy wld they be abducted for a few pesos at best. Especially when a lot of them ppl crossing mexico to get to usa have to pay the cartels from the get go. Oh i get it they must be abducting ppl for practice.
ReplyDelete@1119 it’s NOT a “few pesos at best.” They are made to contact family or friends in the US to pay thousands of dollars in ransom and it’s done successfully every single day here. And this group, which had asylum appointments probably didn’t pay the typical “toll.”
