Mexico requests criminal investigations into deaths of 17 Mexican nationals in ICE custody or operations.
Mexico formally requested that U.S. federal and state prosecutors investigate the deaths of 17 Mexican nationals who died in ICE custody or during enforcement operations since President Trump's second term began. The action follows the July 7 fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an ICE agent in Houston. Mexico also sent cease-and-desist letters to detention facilities and requested UN human rights oversight.
