Mexico will issue arrest warrants for those allegedly responsible for the deaths of 39 people in a fire at a migrant detention center, officials said.
Authorities are investigating Monday’s blaze at the center in Ciudad Juarez as a homicide. A further 27 people were injured. The Mexican government has so far identified at least eight people who could be held responsible, Security Minister Rosa Icela Rodriguez said Wednesday. Among them are two federal agents, one state migration agent and several members of a private security company.
It also appears to show that those detained were behind bars with the gate locked. Rodriguez told reporters that the Mexican foreign ministry has been in contact with Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Venezuela to identify the victims, repatriate their bodies and support the families of those affected.
