Mexican officials disclosed Wednesday that they successfully rescued 31 migrants, including women and children, who were kidnapped last week by unidentified gunmen in the northern state of Tamaulipas.
Jesus Ramirez, the presidential spokesperson, confirmed the rescue on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Thanks to the coordinated effort of the government of Tamaulipas, the FGE, Sedena, National Guard and the SSPYC, the 31 migrants who were kidnapped on December 30 in 2023 were rescued," he wrote in Spanish (translated by Google).
