The INM detailed that among the migrants there were 194 Guatemalans, 14 Hondurans, nine Nicaraguans, five Cubans and three more from El Salvador.
The Secretariat of Public Security of the State of Mexico mentioned, in a separate statement, that 248 migrants were found inside the warehouse, among whom there were “adult men, minors, women and four children in their arms (babies)”.
The INM could not immediately explain the discrepancy in the figures.
