MEXICO CITY — A group of 18 Cubans crossed into Texas in good health more than a week after heavily armed masked men seized them from immigration agents in southern Mexico, the attorney general’s office said Thursday.
The hijacking of a bus carrying the illegal migrants to a detention center shows how violent criminal organizations are increasingly smuggling Cubans into the United States through Mexico.
Cuba’s ambassador to Mexico, Manuel Aguilera, blamed a Miami-based group for the attack.
Few details have been made public about how the 18 Cubans made it through Mexico, or about the fate of 19 other migrants who were on the bus seized by six gunmen in southern Chiapas state.
