Mexican security forces on Thursday rescued eight men who were being held and forced to work at a clandestine clinic operated by one of the country's most notorious drug cartels. At least two victims required crutches or orthopedic devices, suggesting they were receiving treatment and being rehabilitated for injuries sustained during forced tasks. Investigators found the men were lured to the area through fake job offers posted on social media.
