The operator of Mexico's largest rail network, Ferromex, announced on Tuesday (September 19th) that it had suspended the movement of 60 freight trains. Thousands of migrants from South and Central America have used Mexican freight trains to cross the country toward the border with the United States in the north of the country. Many of them died or had to be amputated after accidentally falling from the roofs of trains. Many travel clandestinely, crammed into trains or trucks in inhumane conditions, subjected to ill-treatment by smugglers.
