STORYLINE:
Hundreds of migrants arrived Thursday at the southern United States border, adding to the increase in recent numbers which prompted US authorities to close several border crossings.
The Homeland Security Department expanded border holding facilities by 3,250 people to nearly 23,000, and extended home surveillance nationwide for families awaiting initial asylum screenings.
It is also sending 800 military troops to the border, adding to 2,500 National Guards.
Earlier this week, a Mexican railway operator announced it was temporarily suspending trains running in the northern part of the country because so many migrants are climbing aboard freight cars and getting hurt in the process.
Despite the closure, some of the migrants in the Mexican city of Juarez, neighboring to El Paso, Texas, said to have arrived perched on the train.
Ferromex ordered a halt to 60 trains carrying cargo declaring "half-dozen" accidents from migrants that have hopped on freight cars, accounting also for a "significant increase in the number of migrants in recent days."
