Mexican train with hundreds of migrants onboard stopped

A Mexican cargo train with hundreds of migrants who hopped onboard in Monterrey was stopped nearly 150 miles from its final destination of Piedras Negras, not too far from where thousands of illegal crossings occur daily in Eagle Pass, Texas.

Video posted to social media by Auden B. Cabello, a citizen journalist documenting the migrant journey through Coahuila and Texas, shows the stopped train topped with hundreds of migrants, and nearly 100 standing on the ground.

Cabello reported that the train was stopped in Monclova, Coahuila, Mexico, 147 miles from Piedras Negras.
