Cartel-connected smugglers kidnapped 15 migrants and held them for ransom at a ranch near the border city of Piedras Negras, Coahuila, over the past weekend.
The rescue took place near the rural community of El Centinela, information provided to Breitbart Texas by the Coahuila state government revealed. The case began when relatives of the kidnapped migrants called authorities claiming smugglers were demanding as much as $10,000 to release their loved ones and allow them to continue to the U.S. border.
The northern part of Coahuila has become a hotspot in the current immigration crisis since the region has minimal border fencing with Texas. The shift comes after the Gulf Cartel in Tamaulipas began to raise their crossing fees despite their increasingly brutal treatments of customers.
