It's Not Just a Government Issue: Mexico Denounces Death of 17 Nationals
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The government of Mexico will file complaints on Monday with the U.S. Department of Justice and state prosecutors regarding the deaths of 17 Mexicans in the United States at the hands of immigration authorities, announced President Claudia Sheinbaum, marking a new escalation in her administration's actions against alleged human rights violations of migrants. 'Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will present the complaints to the U.S. Department of Justice and state prosecutors in the United States regarding the deaths of 17 nationals,' the president stated during her morning conference. Sheinbaum specified that among the cases is that of a Mexican who recently died during an immigration operation in Houston, whose death is being investigated by local and federal U.S. authorities. She also noted that the complaints respond to Mexico's concern over 'alleged human rights violations' of Mexicans in detention centers and the deaths of three nationals during operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The president took the opportunity to call on Congress, political parties, and Mexican society to support the defense of migrants in the United States. 'It's not just a matter for the government of Mexico,' she asserted. 'It's a matter for all Mexicans.'
