washington post: Castro, a U.S. citizen and migrant rights activist who has worked in San Diego, Tijuana and other border communities, said he had run out of Mexican pesos and was unable to pay for a taxi or bus with U.S. dollars, according to Toronto Star. He claimed he was being followed by a criminal organization for the past several days, and he feared for his life. Facebook By Samantha Schmidt The Washington Post Wed., April 19, 2017 Stranded on the shoulder of a busy highway in a crime-ridden area of Mexico, Hugo Castro took to Facebook Live to broadcast a desperate call for help. On Thursday evening, the group cornered him on the road to Puebla, Mexico, about 106 kilometres southeast of the capital. Please, someone come here. It's like they're hunting me, Castro, 45, told those watching on Facebook Live, describing his location by pointing out the nearby gas station and metal arch. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
