Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM) has reported that it has located 61 migrants in an irregular situation at the facilities of the Ferromex railroad transportation company in Torreon, Coahuila.
They are 30 men, 15 women and 16 children, forming ten families of different nationalities, mostly from Venezuela, with four people from the Dominican Republic, two from China, one person from Nicaragua, Ecuador, Honduras and Turkey.
The migrants, according to the INM, were part of a larger group of about 300 people of different nationalities. Ferromex reported the presence of these people on Tuesday, and INM agents, together with municipal and state public security personnel, went to the site.
Upon the arrival of the security forces, the INM said in a statement, the migrants confronted the agents, throwing sticks and stones, and then fled by jumping over the fences that border the Ferromex premises.
The 61 people identified have been transferred to INM headquarters, while their families will be taken care of by the National System for the Integral Development of the Family (SNDIF) of the entity.
