5月14日（路透社）——官员周四表示，周末在得克萨斯州拉雷多市一节闷热的铁路车厢内被发现死亡的6人，均为来自墨西哥和洪都拉斯的偷渡移民，他们沦为人口走私风险的受害者。
据市长维克多·特雷维诺称，初步医疗报告显示，这6人均在他们所搭乘的货运列车周日抵达拉雷多前数小时死于严重中暑。拉雷多是美墨边境最大的内陆港口。

“他们并非在我市去世，而是在经历数小时的痛苦后死亡，并在抵达我市前数小时被发现，”特雷维诺在新闻发布会上告诉记者。
官员表示，一名联合太平洋铁路公司的工人于周日下午发现了尸体并通知了执法部门，由此引发的调查被牵头该案件的联邦当局列为人口走私案。
据得克萨斯公共广播电台报道，拉雷多周日的最高气温达到华氏97度（约36摄氏度）。
警察局长米格尔·罗德里格斯·小表示，这列南下列车起源于加利福尼亚州长滩。调查人员认为，这6名移民于周六在拉雷多以北、沿里奥格兰德边境的得克萨斯州德尔里奥被装入该节车厢。

这位局长称，受害者中有3人来自墨西哥，3人来自洪都拉斯。这群人中最年轻的是一名14岁男孩。6人中有1名墨西哥女性，其余均为成年男性。现场未发现幸存者。
“我们要求为这些逝去的生命伸张正义，”市长说道。“无论他们来自何处，那些人口走私并将人类置于如此危险且不人道境地的责任人必须被追究责任。”
特雷维诺警告称，移民将自己的生命交给无良人口贩子，正将自己置于极大的风险之中。
“对于那些可能正在考虑踏上这条危险旅程的人，我怀着同情和迫切的心情对你们说。我们理解人们对更好生活的渴望。但不要非法前来这里。这段旅程显然非常危险，而且往往以悲剧收场，”市长说道。
拉雷多的死亡事件是最新一起偷渡者搭乘火车和半挂卡车试图越境导致多人死亡的案例，其中包括2022年的一起事件：当时得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥郊区一辆空调故障的废弃卡车内被发现53具移民尸体。

May 14 (Reuters) – The six people found dead inside a sweltering railroad boxcar in Laredo, Texas, over the weekend were stowaway migrants from Mexico and Honduras who fell victim to the perils of human smuggling, officials said on Thursday.
Preliminary medical reports determined that all six died from severe heat stroke hours before the freight train they were riding on arrived on Sunday in Laredo, the largest inland port on the U.S.-Mexico border, according to Mayor Victor Trevino.

“They did not pass away in our city but were discovered here after hours of suffering and eventually dying several hours before arriving,” Trevino told reporters at a news conference.
A Union Pacific railroad worker found the bodies on Sunday afternoon and alerted law enforcement, touching off an investigation that federal authorities leading the probe are treating as a human smuggling case, officials said.
Temperatures in Laredo reached a high of 97 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday, according to Texas Public Radio.
Police Chief Miguel Rodriguez Jr said the southbound train originated in Long Beach, California. Investigators believe the six migrants were loaded into the boxcar on Saturday in Del Rio, Texas, north of Laredo along the Rio Grande border.

The chief said three of the victims were from Mexico and three from Honduras. The youngest of the group was a 14-year-old boy. One of the six was a Mexican woman. The rest were adult males. No survivors were found with them.
“We are demanding justice for these lives lost,” the mayor said. “It doesn’t matter where they came from. Those responsible for trafficking and placing human beings in such dangerous and inhumane conditions must be held accountable.”
Trevino warned that migrants put themselves at grave risk by placing their lives in the hands of unscrupulous human traffickers.
“To those who may be considering this dangerous journey, I speak to you with both compassion and urgency. We understand the desire for a better life. But do not come here illegally. The journey is clearly dangerous, and too often it ends in tragedy,” the mayor said.
The Laredo deaths marked the latest occasion of attempted border crossings by stowaways in trains and tractor-trailers ending in multiple fatalities, including a 2022 incident in which 53 migrants were found dead in an abandoned truck with malfunctioning air-conditioning on the outskirts of San Antonio, Texas.
