COAHUILA. Agents of the Fuerza Coahuila corps uncovered a network of alleged human traffickers that illegally transported immigrants using Uber cars.
Around four vehicles were pulled over by the police while they were going through Saltillos countryside, a dirt road that connects the Mexican states of Zacatecas and Nuevo León. The drivers claimed to work for Uber, but they were responding to a phone call request instead of one made with the official app.
These cars were driving in line when agents from the Fuerza Coahuila police corps and the Metropolitan Operative Reaction Group (GROM) pulled them over and searched the vehicles, then found out that the passengers were Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador native.
This situation was consistent with a previous detention, where the Coahuila police department discovered that these cars had a specific route they used to avoid police checkpoints, reach Nuevo León and meet with a contact that would send the migrants into the U.S. illegally.
These Uber drivers were brought to the public prosecutors office, where they could face human trafficking charges, among others.
