Bodies of migrants who died in Texas trailer come to Mexico

LA Times  

People carry the remains of Jair Valencia Olivares, Misael Olivares and Yovani Valencia Olivares for a funeral Mass in San Marcos Atexquilapan in Mexico’s Veracruz state on Thursday. After days of preparation and donations to cover funeral costs, this mountain community in eastern Mexico on Thursday mourned the return of three young cousins among the 53 migrants who died last month inside a semitrailer in San Antonio. The previous 24 hours were a flurry of activity as residents of San Marcos Atexquilapan stepped forward to help the Olivares family receive the bodies of brothers Jaír and Yovani Valencia Olivares, ages 19 and 16, and their 16-year-old cousin Misael Olivares. “Unfortunately, it didn’t go as expected.” The investigation continues into the smuggling ring that ultimately abandoned the trailer of migrants on the outskirts of San Antonio on June 28, a day temperatures neared 100 degrees.
