US Responds to Only Four of 20 Complaints Regarding Deaths Linked to ICE: Mexican Foreign Minister
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Mexico's Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco reported that the U.S. has responded to only four of the 20 complaints filed regarding the deaths of 17 Mexican nationals during immigration operations or while in custody of ICE. The responses came from county prosecutors in Ventura, California; Cook, Illinois; and Harris, Texas, who will evaluate possible actions. A Florida prosecutor declined further investigation, agreeing with ICE's conclusion of suicide. Mexico's complaints span multiple states amid stricter immigration policies. Velasco emphasized the importance of protecting Mexican citizens and announced plans to follow up with unresponsive prosecutors. The Mexican government has also engaged the U.S. Department of Justice and the UN on this issue.
