TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico — Police in the southern state of Chiapas found 513 migrants Tuesday inside two trailer trucks bound for the United States and said they had been transported in dangerously crowded conditions.
Some of the immigrants were suffering from dehydration after traveling for hours clinging to cargo nets strung inside the containers to keep them upright as the trucks bounced along from the Guatemalan border.
The trucks had air holes punched in the floor, but migrants interviewed at the state prosecutors’ office said they lacked air and water.
The migrants, from Central and South America and Asia, said the smugglers were charging them about $7,000 apiece to get them into the U.S.
