ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Masses of people have been rushing to the Mexican border on buses and planes in recent weeks, as a pandemic-era health restriction that the U.S. used to expel migrants expires. But in Ciudad Juárez, right across the border from El Paso, they are increasingly arriving on a freight train so dangerous it is known either as “the beast” or “the train of death” because so many migrants have fallen off and lost limbs or have been killed. Most riders on the train on Monday were from Venezuela and had traveled for months to reach Mexico, traversing multiple countries and a brutal 70-mile long stretch of jungle connecting Central and South America. Along the way, some were robbed and kidnapped. They boarded the train in secret in Mexico City, and said it was the only way they knew they could make it north. The metal walls of the train got so cold at night that it was hard to sleep, and so hot during the day that touching them with bare skin was painful. Some migrants say they have heard the border will be open when the pandemic health rule, known as Title 42, lifts on Thursday night. Others believe the opposite, that it will be completely shut. Neither is accurate. Yet regardless of their view, many people believe they have no time to waste and are heading directly toward the U.S. @nataliekitroeff, The Times’s Mexico City bureau chief, interviewed migrants near the border, and the photographer @alecegarra traveled on a freight train carrying migrants bound for the U.S. Tap the link in our bio to learn more about this journey.」5月11日 7時17分
