CIUDAD JUÁREZ , March 29 — A fire started by migrants in an apparent protest against deportations killed at least 40 people at a Mexican immigration detention centre near the US border, authorities said yesterday, prompting demands for justice.
“They put mats at the door of the shelter and set them on fire as a protest, and did not imagine that it would cause this terrible tragedy,” he told reporters. Amnesty International said the fire was “a consequence of the restrictive and cruel immigration policies” of Mexico and the United States. A Venezuelan woman who gave her name as Viangly waited desperately for information about her 27-year-old husband.At least 40 immigrants were killed and 28 were injured, according to the INM, which said the centre housed 68 adult males from Central and South America.
Fed up with waiting at the border, hundreds of the migrants attempted to storm an international bridge on March 13 but were blocked by US agents. The US ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, said the tragedy was “a reminder to the governments of the region of the importance of fixing a broken migration system and the risks of irregular migration.”
