Mexico Deports Stranded Migrants

Hundreds of illegal immigrants have been deported from Mexico after they became stranded when a train route through the country was closed down. Up to 7,000 people, mostly from Guatemala and Honduras, got stuck in southern Mexico when a rail link to the US ceased operating. US train operators Genesee & Wyoming Ind, closed the line because of damage caused by a hurricane in 2005. The authorities said that around 350 people had been deported so far.
