Mexico's top immigration official to be charged in detention center fire that killed 40 migrants
Fox News
Francisco Garduño, Mexico’s top immigration official, will face charges in a fire that killed dozens of migrants at a detention center in Ciudad Juarez.
It followed repeated calls from within Mexico, and from some Central American nations, not to stop the case at the five low-level officials, guards and a Venezuelan migrant already facing homicide charges in the case.
Anger initially focused on two guards who were seen fleeing the March 27 fire, without unlocking the cell door to allow the migrants to escape. But President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said earlier Tuesday that they didn’t have the keys.
