More than 650 Central American migrants headed for the United States were found crammed inside six shipping containers hauled by three trucks in northeastern Mexico.
The shocking discovery was made by National Guardsmen operating a checkpoint on the Victoria-Monterrey national expressway inspecting the tractor trailers, the Institute of National Migration said in a statement provided to DailyMail.com
The traffic stop took place 200 miles from the nearest United States-Mexico border crossing.
Federal Migration Agents onsite heard voices coming from one of the containers and requested the use of an x-ray which confirmed that there were people in one of the freight boxes.
