Two Mexican migrants were shot to death in a dawn attack near Tecate, across the border from California
Two Mexican migrants were shot to death on the Mexican side of the U.S. border in the early hours of Friday morning, Mexico's National Migration Institute said.
Rescue services found a group of 14 Mexican nationals at dawn on Cuchuma Hill near Tecate, a city in the border state of Baja California. By the time rescuers climbed up to meet the group, two migrants were already dead. The cause of the shooting is not known, but migrant crossings often involve agreements with local cartels for right of passage. Migrants are sometimes shot if their smuggler is working for a rival gang or if they haven't paid passage rights.In one notable case in 2021, Tamaulipas state police shot and killed 19 people on the border, including at least 14 Guatemalan migrants, then burned their bodies. A court recently convicted 11 officers of homicide.
The two dead Mexicans in Tecate join a growing number of migrants killed and injured on Mexico's northern and southern borders in a desperate bid to reach the U.S.
