El Paso, Texas ( Border Report )- On Tuesday, Mexican officials arrived to rescue four refugees who had spent the night wandering the desert west of Juarez.
On Monday evening, a group of 10 people were walking along the Pan-American Highway from Chihuahua City to Juarez. When a Mexican immigration police approached, the party fled into the plain in an area known as the Dunes of Samalayuca, according to first responders, who reported to the Border Report lens team.
Shortly after, six migrants vanished, but three Cuban men and one Colombian woman are still missing. According to state regulators, the police in Jauarez received a 911 contact from the missing workers and the Chihuahua state authorities started a search that included a plane flying over the sand.
Due to the lack of visibility, the hunt was suspended before it resumed on Tuesday night. According to officials at the picture, doctors immediately gave initial support after the workers were discovered and an ambulance transported them to a Juarez doctor for further analysis.
The workers were being treated for thirst, according to a speech from state police.
The Pan American Highway, or Mexico Federal Highway 45, has become a travel point for people taking professional trains from Mexico’s inside to the border. It was a dangerous location that last month caused two migrants ‘ lives when a car veered off to avoid people who were walking on the asphalt, reversed, and struck a group further down the road.
