Central American migrants occupy train headed to US

Central American migrants hope to reach the U.S. border. They occupied a train headed in that direction in Mexico, but the train company refuses to move and the migrants refuse to leave.

“We will not move from here until the train leaves. We know we can’t travel on these (train cars), we are putting pressure (on the company) for some carriages so we can travel on this train. (Reporter: What has the company told you?) They have not told us anything at the moment, no dialogue of any kind from the company or from authorities,” said Cristobal Sanchez, migrant activist.

The train company refuses to move the train while migrants are present, citing the presence of dangerous chemicals on board.
