Mexican authorities said Tuesday they rescued 133 Central American migrants, including 34 children, from a house where they were apparently locked up and abandoned while being trafficked to the United States.
The undocumented migrants, who came from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, were locked up in "overcrowded conditions" in a house in a remote area in the southeastern state of Tabasco, the attorney general`s office said in a statement.
Authorities found them after receiving an anonymous tip, it said.
Two people were arrested on kidnapping charges. The migrants were handed over to immigration authorities.
