Wave of migrants that halted trains in Mexico started with migrant smuggling industry in Darien Gap

Operation Shield is part of an agreement reached with the governments of Colombia and the United States in April to stop the flow of migrants.Mexico’s largest railroad, Ferromex, said Tuesday it had temporarily halted 60 freight trains because so many migrants had climbed aboard that it was unsafe to move the cars. In recent days, there have been about a “half-dozen regrettable cases of injuries or deaths” among migrants, it said in a statement.

The flood of migrants into Eagle Pass, Texas, led U.S. Customs and Border Protection to close one of two bridges leading into the city from the Mexican town of Piedras Negras. The agency said the bridge was temporarily closed “in order to redirect personnel to assist the U.S. Border Patrol with taking migrants into custody.”
