Mexico seizes tunnel-based human smuggling ring
Mexican authorities managed to arrest eight individuals suspected of belonging to a criminal gang known as "La Tía," which specializes in smuggling migrants through secret tunnels connecting Ciudad Juárez with the United States. The gang is also involved in crimes such as drug trafficking, kidnapping, and extortion. The investigation, which began in January following a complaint from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, led to the seizure of two trucks, 31 cell phones, and other electronic equipment. Meanwhile, Mexico and the United States have stepped up security measures to prevent the passage of migrants and criminal groups across the border area.
