Mexico to press U.S. courts over Mexican migrants' deaths in ICE operations

Mexico will lodge criminal complaints in U.S. federal and local courts over the deaths of Mexican migrants in ICE detention and during anti-migrant operations, including the Houston killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo; 17 Mexicans have died since Trump’s crackdown (14 in detention, 3 in operations). DHS claims Salgado Araujo weaponized his vehicle, a claim disputed by witnesses; Houston authorities are investigating. The move signals strained Mexico–U.S. relations, which are set against broader tensions such as alleged CIA activity in Mexico and U.S. charges against Mexican officials, with President Sheinbaum resisting extraditing Governor Rubén Rocha Moya due to lack of evidence.
