Sixteen family members have successfully arrived in the U.S. and there are eight pending arrivals for the week of April 22, according to a Monday night statement from CASA.The surviving victim claimed the mayday call never reached the workers, who were in their vehicles on break and playing cards, CASA said siblings and parents will be joining their loved ones in the U.S. – some of whom haven’t seen each other in decades. Some will even bring their loved ones back home for burial.“We are grateful to the families and relatives who have trusted us to support them in this most difficult of times,” said Matthew Dolamore, program director for the Esperanza Center.
