Mexico suspends some rail freight cars
On the 19th local time, the Mexican Railway Company announced that it would suspend the operation of its 60 northbound freight trains.

The Mexican chartered railway operator said in a statement that in recent days, there has been a "significant increase" in illegal immigrants in railway yards in many cities along the railway from south to north, with a total of more than 4,000 people. "In view of this, Mexican Railways will suspend operations on the affected lines to protect the personal safety of illegal immigrants and wait for law enforcement agencies to take response measures."
