They rescue 49 immigrants in Tamaulipas, Mexico; allege that they were to be handed over to traffickers | Video | CNN

The Tamaulipas Prosecutor's Office, in northern Mexico, says that thanks to the cries for help that a neighbor heard, Central American immigrants were rescued by the police.

The 49 immigrants, who were in a field assigned as a camp, say they had an altercation with people who they would have paid to cross into the United States.

The immigrants told police that the people they made the deal with tried to "hand them over to another group."
