· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
MEXICO CITY — Mexico announced on Thursday that it will file criminal complaints in U.S. courts regarding the deaths of 17 Mexicans in custody and during operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Foreign Secretary Roberto Velasco stated during the morning presidential conference that the complaints will be filed with both state prosecutors and the U.S. Department of Justice, accompanied by civil actions against the companies operating detention centers to stop human rights violations in those facilities. President Claudia Sheinbaum explained that Mexico decided to 'move beyond diplomatic channels' and raise the tone of its complaints after an ICE agent shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas, earlier this week. 'We will do everything in our power because we cannot be complacent' regarding the deaths of Mexicans 'whose only crime is working honestly in the United States,' Sheinbaum said.
