Search Underway For Migrants Abducted By Armed Men On Reynosa-Matamoros Highway

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat



Authorities of the Ministry of Public Security are investigating  the whereabouts of the passengers of a bus intercepted by a group of armed men near Rio Bravo.

The State Guard keeps watch at bus stations in Tamaulipas.

Tamaulipas Public Security Authorities are looking for 31 passengers who were on board a foreign bus from Nuevo Leon to Matamoros, who were intercepted by armed people on the highway, last Saturday night, December 30, 2023.

The transport unit was carrying Mexican children, men and women, but also migrants of different nationalities, but they were lost track of very close to Texas, but on the Tamaulipas side.

The Tamaulipas Security Department, through its head, Jorge Cuellar, confirmed this event and without giving any further information on this case, said that they were investigating the abduction of the passengers who disappeared since Saturday afternoon.

The Attorney General's Office and the National Migration Institute have been asked for a reaction on the case, however, no positive response has been obtained.

The unit departed from the northern state of Nuevo Leon and its final destination was the border city of Matamoros, Tamaulipas, which is currently facing a serious problem due to the agglomeration of thousands of migrants trying to illegally cross the Rio Bravo to reach the United States.

The bus stopped in the border city of Reynosa and then departed along the federal route to Matamoros.

In a rural town near the city of Rio Bravo an armed criminal cell stopped the bus and after a search took the 31 people, said the official.

The facts were reported by the driver of the transport unit.

Only four passengers who were traveling on board were left inside the unit, who were taken to Matamoros, under the protection of the National Guard, the Army and the State Guard.

A similar case occurred in March 2019 when armed subjects stopped a passenger bus on the San Fernando-Reynosa federal highway and took 22 people whose fate is still unknown.

Bus under guard after incident

The Senda bus is detained on the platforms of the Matamoros, Tamaulipas bus station after the incident.

The bus was escorted to the Matamoros bus station, where the passengers disembarked, no information was given about the migrants involved.

  1. Either most are dead and a few that said yes are working for the cartel or all of them are getting held for ransom

    4. Scientifically speaking, lobsters are more closely related to spiders, mites, and ticks than scorpions..

    8. @11:55 am. No. Spiders and scorpions are both in the class Arachnida. Lobsters are in the class Malacostraca. But they all belong to the phylum Arthropoda. Meaning ",joint-legged".
      So when you eat lobster you're basically dining on a sea cockroach, since cockroaches are arthropods.

  5. I’ve seen some news stations reporting that on January 1st, the National Guard rescued 5 Venezuelans ( two are minors ) in Reynosa, who are part of the 31 passengers that law enforcement is currently searching for.

  6. Drug cartels are the greatest threat to any modern civilized society and need to be designated as terrorists by the most powerful nation on earth, the United States of America. Law abiding Mexican citizens should be given the right to bear arms to fight back against these coward narco terrorists.

    1. Greedy politicians from both sides want their money. But I'm with you on that, I would leave my life in the states and pick up a firearm to help the people down there to fight cartels to protect my family, the motherland.

    2. 11:38 they can own firearms but only in certain calibers and configurations but also the location. ADF360MX on YouTube has great information about gun ownership in México.

      Sicario 006 already has Ukraine covered. We are expecting big things in 2024. Hopefully, he raps up his Ukraine mission in 2024 so he is able to help the Israelis in Gaza in 2025.

    6. And what’s the point of levantando los que van a cruzar por el río? Que ganan con eso o que? Just to charge them cuota before they cross? To make sure they don’t cross without paying plaza?

  16. Those borders on the eastern side of mx are full of greedy broke fucks. They extort the people traveling south from the us for the holidays. Glad I cross through Juarez. May get stopped and revised at a check point but let go every time without having to pay shit.

  17. The drivers have to be in on it, I take that trip a few times a year and in Reynosa the driver gets off apparently for a break, but if you ask him if you can go find something to eat he says hurry bc they leave quickly. All while there's someone checking the bus and reporting back via walkie talkie. They ask you where your going and if they dont believe you they take you off the bus. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened, I hope the families get some answers.

  18. The metros out of Reynosa kidnapped them thinking they were reinforcements for el senor 19 ..since they are bending over to snitchaloa and the new generation crystal meth cartel needing help they probably forced them to join a weak ass estaca

    ReplyDelete
  19. If I was the bus driver, I would have monster truck tires put on and bulletproof windows and doors u cant open from the outside like a fortress then if they tried stopping us I would run all their as-es over
