TL;DR Summary

A fire broke out in an immigrant detention center in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, killing at least 39 migrants and injuring dozens more. The cause of the fire is disputed, with some sources claiming it was started by migrants protesting their deportation, while others say it was due to overcrowding and lack of access to drinking water. The incident highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Mexico, where a record number of migrants are stranded as they attempt to reach the United States. Advocates warn that the situation is likely to worsen this summer when the US implements a new policy to turn back even more asylum-seekers to Mexico.
