Authorities in Mexico discovered 123 migrants, including 34 children, from Central and South America stuck inside a trailer in the central Mexican state of San Luis Potosi on Nov. 8, officials said.

The migrants were found in the town of Matehuala, a city on the border of Nuevo Leon, after residents reportedly heard cries for help from people inside the abandoned trailer and alerted law enforcement.
