Prosecutors identify eight people who may be responsible for the deaths at the migrant center in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Security Minister Rosa Icela Rodriguez says.
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Migrants were locked in a cell as a blaze spread killing 39 people at a detention center in Mexico, witnesses and a survivor said on Wednesday, March 29, as Mexican prosecutors said they were investigating the incident as a possible homicide.
All the victims were male, and Mexico’s government is under pressure to find out why they died after officials said the women migrants at the center were safely evacuated. She added the probe would include examining whether a key was available to open the men’s cell, or if there was another way to break the lock.
The survivor, who was being fed oxygen through his nose for smoke inhalation and asked not to be named out of fear of repercussions from migration authorities, confirmed the information in a voice message sent from his hospital bed.
