REYNOSA, Mexico Right outside of the international bridge of Reynosa-Hidalgo in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, we found Christopher Centeno, a 21-year-old Honduran migrant who appeared to be walking and sitting back down aimlessly.
Suddenly, he approached us with an absent but anxious look on his face. He asked us for help, if we knew about a shelter or church which could help him. Nearby, coyotes (human smugglers) were distributing wristbands and giving instructions to migrants, taking care of their clients right there. When they saw our cameras they immediately left.

Mexican authorities raided a hotel in the border city of Reynosa and discovered a group of 13 Central American migrants. After the raid, Mexican immigration officials released the migrants who were able to prove they had legal permission to be in Mexico.
The raid took place on Friday evening after Tamaulipas State Police responded to an anonymous call about kidnapping victims at a hotel in the Puerta Del Sol neighborhood, the local newspaper
El Manana reported. The migrants claimed that they had not been kidnapped and were simply staying at the hotel. Authorities identified the migrants as seven adults and three underage teens and children from Honduras and Nicaragua.
One of the suspects involved in the shooting of a Balcones Heights police officer is believed to be in custody in Mexico, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said Thursday night.
