A fire at a migrant detention center in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, tragically killed 40 migrants and injured 29, reportedly started by detainees protesting deportation.
Surveillance video revealed guards walking away and making no attempt to release the men as the cell filled with smoke, raising serious questions about their actions.
The victims were identified as nationals from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, with Guatemala confirming 28 of its citizens among the dead.
The incident underscores severe overcrowding, heightened tensions, and criticism of Mexico's immigration policies by advocates and international bodies, who decry the extensive use of detention.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
