By marking the stop and being approached by federal agents, the passengers could not prove their regular stay in Mexico. 150 adult men from Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Cuba were identified.

In addition, 19 adults and 27 minors who were traveling in company, as well as a mother who was traveling with her son, all of them from Guatemala.
The people commented that they had been in the bush for several days, and that their transfer from the Mexico-Guatemala border had been on foot through different gaps, some in vehicles and others aboard boats.
The adult aliens were transferred to immigration offices to begin the corresponding administrative process. The minors and the mother with her child were placed under the guardianship of the DIF.
