Immigrants System Detention Americas

Guards walked away during fire that killed 38 migrants near US-Mexico border, footage shows. Surveillance footage from inside the immigration detention center in northern Mexico near the U.S. Border where 38 migrants died in a dormitory fire appears to show guards walking away from the blaze and making no apparent attempt to release detainees. The fire broke out when migrants fearing deportation set mattresses ablaze late Monday at the National Immigration Institute, a facility in Ciudad Juárez, south of El Paso, Texas, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said. The footage shows guards did not appear to attempt to open cell doors so migrants could escape the fire. Source 5z.
