A Mexican railway operator has announced it is temporarily suspending trains in the northern part of the country because so many migrants are climbing on board freight cars and getting hurt in the process.

Ferromex said it has temporarily ordered a halt to 60 trains carrying cargo that would fill 1,800 tractor trailers. It said some international trade would be affected by the stoppage.
