Mexico Migrant Center Fire Claims Dozens of Lives

Migrants from Latin America protested outside a migrant processing centre in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, where at least 40 people were killed in a fire on Monday night. Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, blamed protesting migrants for causing the fire. The incident has highlighted the increasingly tough immigration policies that have been put in place by Joe Biden’s administration. Limits on the number of people allowed to seek asylum have left cities along Mexico’s northern border overwhelmed with people wanting to cross into the US, including many forced to sleep on the streets, inside churches or packed shelters.
