Police stopped the trucks stuffed full with their human cargo just outside Mexico’s Chiapas state capital Tuxtla Gutierrez. They found 240 people in one truck, and 273 in the other. The closest point with the U.S. border is an eye-watering 18-hour drive away. They were caught when the trucks sped through a vehicle scanner at a police checkpoint. Police immediately gave chase. The 513 migrants were from Latin America, Japan, China, India and Nepal.
