The National Border Service (Senafront) made public that according to information received in the riverside tributaries near the community of Carreto, 10 bodies of migrants who died from drowning due to a high water level were observed.
Despite the great efforts of the National Government, through this institution, to channel irregular migration through the humanitarian corridor that offers greater protection to the migrant population, transnational organized crime through local collaborators of these Caribbean coastal communities, insist on using unauthorized crossings, putting the lives of these people at serious risk, as is the case under investigation.
Senafront informed the Public Prosecutor’s Office of this situation, considering that these bodies were supposedly buried to cover up their criminal links to migrant trafficking.
Senafront reiterates that the authorized crossing for irregular migration is the one leading to Cañas Blancas, where specialized patrols are available for protection and humanitarian assistance.
