Mexico Targets US State AGs in ICE Custody Death Probe
Mexico has formally requested that U.S. state attorneys general criminally investigate the deaths of Mexican migrants in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody or during raids. This action follows the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and brings the total number of Mexican migrant deaths during immigration enforcement since the beginning of the Trump administration to 17. In addition to these requests for criminal investigations, Mexico is also sending letters to U.S. detention centers demanding an immediate cessation of actions or omissions leading to these deaths, and has also sought the involvement of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights.
