Mexico: at least 41 (most from Venezuela, Honduras and Guatemala) migrants die in Ciudad Juarez state center
They were under the federal government's responsibility, which wanted to relocate them south. Guards did not open the doors when the fire started, and they suffocated to death
According to Mexican president López Obrador, the fire was caused by a riot in the men's area after migrants refused to be relocated to the south of the country, in Chiapas, on the border with Guatemala. The fire from inside the building caught approximately 70 migrants, almost all from Venezuela, Honduras, and Guatemala, inside the federal facility. All the smoke-suffocated dead were sleeping in the state-run National Institute of Migration (INM) immigration center in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua state, on the border with El Paso, Texas.
The fire broke out at night, and at least 29 were hospitalized. One of the survivors said their area was closed, and the guards refused when they asked them to open the door. He is right, as you can appreciate from the video posted below. A crime.
