Mexican cargo train derails while transporting 1,300 migrants to U.S.

A cargo train used by Mexicans and Central Americans to reach the U.S. border derailed in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca on Wednesday, stranding about 1,300 migrants, according to emergency services.

Nobody was injured in the derailment, said the spokesman of the local emergency services agency.

Since last October, more than 50,000 unaccompanied minors, most from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, have come to the U.S. illegally due to violence and unrest in their home countries.
