Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — Agents from the National Migration Institute (INM), together with the National Guard and Quintana Roo Police, carried out an operation in search of illegal immigrants.
INM personnel, with the support of canine dogs, patrolled the city’s busy Constituyentes Avenue as well as other main roadways in Playa del Carmen in search of illegal visitors.
