"Migrant Influx Forces Mexican Railway Operator to Suspend Trains for Safety"
Mexican railway operator Ferromex has temporarily suspended train runs in the northern part of the country due to an increasing number of migrants climbing aboard freight cars and getting injured. The company has halted 60 trains, affecting international trade. Despite the suspension, hundreds of migrants continue to wait at railway yards, unaware of the stoppage. Ferromex cited a significant increase in the number of migrants and the need to protect their physical safety. The worst problems are reported in northern states, with thousands of migrants gathered at rail yards. The train stoppage is expected to have a significant impact on industrial states with links to the US market. Migrants are increasingly desperate to reach the US border, as seen in recent incidents at an asylum office in Tapachula. Mexico is on track to receive a record number of asylum applications this year.
