By Zoila Palma: Mexico has begun filing criminal complaints with state prosecutors in the United States following the deaths of Mexican nationals in U.S. immigration custody and during enforcement operations, according to the country’s foreign ministry.
The government has also issued cease-and-desist letters to U.S. detention centers where Mexican citizens have died, USA Today reports.
The move comes after the deaths of at least 14 Mexican nationals in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, as well as several others during arrest operations, including the recent fatal shooting of a Mexican citizen by an ICE agent in Houston.
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced last week that Mexico would intensify its response, saying the government “cannot turn a blind eye to the Mexicans who have died.”
