According to unofficial information, the people remained in the town for about five hours.
The group was rescued by local inhabitants, who decided to bring them food and water, and even the municipal authorities offered medical attention in ambulances for those who required it, since they are outdoors in the sun and without progress.

These were families with children waiting for the train to resume its journey to continue on to the border.
It should be noted that just this Thursday a train arrived in Ciudad Juarez with a similar number of migrants on it, so authorities from the three levels of Mexican government and U.S. immigration agents are currently maintaining an operation on both sides of the border.
The above, after the massive arrival of people in mobility during the last few weeks, which even impacted the local economy, after the closing of international bridges, forcing companies dedicated to the import and export of transnational merchandise to stop.
