SEATTLE - A group of 138 migrants from Honduras, Ecuador and Venezuela was rescued from a stash house in Mexico by members of different law enforcement agencies.
Officers moved to a location near the Suchiate River, just a few miles from the Mexico-Guatemala border, after complaints from locals. The migrants told authorities that they were being held against their will, and that criminal groups were demanding them between $100 and $1000 in order to continue their journey up north.
