Central American migrants from Honduras sing their national anthem during the annual Migrant Stations of the Cross caravan or "Via crucis," organized by the "Pueblo Sin Fronteras" activist group, as the group makes a few-days stop in Matias Romero, Oaxaca state, Mexico, Monday, April 2, 2018. While a group of about a couple of hundred men in the march broke off and hopped a freight train north on Sunday, the rest seem unlikely to move until Wednesday or Thursday, and are probably going to take buses to the last scheduled stop for the caravan, a migrant rights symposium in central Puebla state.

Connecticut state Rep. Angel Arce, second from right rear, testifies before a state crime records task force Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013, in Hartford, Conn.

Arce said he was upset that videos of the accident are all over the Internet and urged the panel to consider victims' privacy when deciding when to release records. The Task Force on Victim Privacy and the Public's Right to Know was set up in response to public records requests related to the Newtown school shootings that killed 20 first-graders and six adults in December.
