Tragedy Strikes Mexico Migrant Facility with Dozens Dead in Fire

A fire in a Mexican migrant detention center has killed 38 people and injured 28 others, with video footage showing guards not attempting to free the detainees as the fire spread. The blaze was apparently started in protest by the migrants themselves, who were mostly from Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, and El Salvador. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the fire was started by migrants in protest after learning they would be deported or moved. The tragedy has been blamed on a long series of decisions made by leaders in places like Venezuela and Central America, by immigration policymakers in Mexico and the United States, and by residents in Ciudad Juarez complaining about the number of migrants asking for handouts at street corners.
