Mexico Sues US Over Deaths in ICE Custody
Mexico intends to pursue legal action in the United States, both criminal and civil, in response to the deaths of Mexican nationals in ICE custody and during enforcement operations. This decision follows the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an ICE agent and an overall count of 17 Mexican deaths linked to ICE since the current U.S. immigration crackdown began. The Mexican government will no longer rely solely on diplomatic protest notes and will refer cases to U.S. prosecutors, seeking investigations against those responsible, while also initiating civil action against private detention center operators for alleged human rights violations.
