Deadly Fire Erupts in Mexican Immigration Jail Amid Border Crackdown

At least 38 migrants died in a fire at a Mexican immigration detention jail near the US border, with dozens more injured. The majority of the dead were initially thought to be Venezuelans, but authorities in Guatemala say 28 of the victims were from Guatemala. The United Nations Human Rights Office called the fire a "preventable tragedy" and urged all states to adopt alternatives to immigration detention. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the fire began after migrants set their mattresses on fire to protest conditions, but surveillance video shows guards walking away as flames spread inside the jail cells.
