Guatemala police free 126 migrants from abandoned container
They were found at dawn between the towns of Nueva Concepción and Cocales after locals reported hearing screams inside the trailer.
Authorities believe they were abandoned by smugglers who had been paid to take them to the US via Mexico.
More than 100 of those discovered are from the crisis-hit nation of Haiti.
...
The discovery comes just a day after Mexican authorities detained 652 migrants, including some 350 children, travelling in three refrigerated double-trailer trucks near the US southern border.
