Mexican freight company stops sending trains to US border as ‘unprecedented’ number of migrants hitch rides

Mexico’s largest freight company has temporarily halted 60 trains in the north — because of an “unprecedented” number of migrants hitching rides to the US border.

Ferromex announced the mass service suspension Tuesday, days after a video went viral showing hundreds of cheering migrants crammed into one of its trains.

The company said “the accumulation of migrants in recent days has increased significantly,” causing about a “half-dozen regrettable cases of injury or death” among those trying to illegally cross into the US.

“Due to this, Ferromex will temporarily suspend its operations on the affected routes to protect the physical integrity of the migrants, and will be monitoring whatever measures authorities implement,” the company announced.
