At least 39 individuals died in a hearth at a migration heart in Mexico’s northern border metropolis of Ciudad Juarez, officers stated Tuesday.
Authorities stated the fireplace on the workplace of National Migration Institute (INM) occurred after they picked up about 71 migrants from the streets of the town.
The explanation for the fireplace or the victims’ nationalities haven’t been launched by Mexico’s National Migration Institute, who’ve launched an investigation into the blaze.
“It is with deep sadness and grief that we learned of the fire that occurred inside the INM in Ciudad Juárez,” Andrea Chavez, Ciudad Juarez’s federal deputy, tweeted on Tuesday.
We will anticipate the official data and, from this second on, we ship our condolences to the households of the migrants. FGR initiated the investigation,” Chavez stated.
Body baggage had been lined up close to the scene of the fireplace, which had been extinguished, Reuters reported a witness as saying. Most of the migrants on the heart had been Venezuelan, the witnesses added.
The blaze is among the worst lately in Mexico, which is seeing document ranges of crossings at its border with the US.
Act Daily News has reached out to Mexico’s migration authorities for assertion on the fireplace.
