Mexico's Migrant Centers Under Scrutiny After Fatal Fire and Damning Video.

A leaked video of a fatal fire in a Mexican migrant detention center has sparked international outrage and raised questions about Mexico's immigration policies and the US's role in pressuring Mexico to stop the growing number of US-bound migrants. Mexico has one of the largest immigration detention systems in the world, but human rights groups have long complained about the dire conditions in these facilities. The video has led to the issuance of arrest warrants for four suspects in the case, including two immigration officers and a private security guard. The investigation is focused on potential charges of homicide, property damage, and abuse of authority.
