Mexican authorities says rescued 147 Americans abandoned in Veracruz

Mexican authorities said they rescued 147 Central Americans after suspected human smugglers forced them out of the cramped tractor trailer into the wilderness of forest. They were on the way to the United States. <br/><br/>Among those rescued were 48 minors, including 14 traveling without an adult companion. They were abandoned near a highway in the city of Ozuluama, Veracruz. Mexico's national immigration institute said, the rescued people traveled to the border state of Tamaulipas, where they would eventually be smuggled into the United States.
