Frontera NorteSur

A prominent Mexican religious leader and human rights advocate has denounced a wave of criminal attacks against Central American migrants in his nation.

In a phone interview with Frontera NorteSur, Bishop Raul Vera of Saltillo, Coahuila, charged Mexican police officers and National Migration Institute (INM) officials were involved in criminal rings that kidnap migrants en route to the US and, under torture, force victims to disclose relatives’ names and phone numbers in order to collect ransoms ranging from $6,000-$8,000.
