Video showed guards hurrying away from the smoky fire apparently without trying to free detainees.
No charges were announced, but authorities said they would seek at least four arrest warrants later in the day, including one for a migrant who was part of what they described as a small group that started the fire.Five of those under investigation for possible misconduct are private security guards, two are federal immigration agents and one is a Chihuahua state officer, federal Public Safety Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez said.
That was two days before a fire. Then his name appeared on a government list of the fire victims, but not specifying whether he was among the dead or the hospitalised. Adding to the anger over the deaths was the pent-up frustration of migrants who have spent weeks trying to make appointments on a US mobile phone app to file asylum claims.Migrants cross the Rio Bravo river with the intention of turning themselves over to US Border Patrol agents.
It was unclear if they would be allowed to remain or be bussed to a formal border crossing for expulsion.Smoke began billowing out of the migrant detention centre late on Monday after a group of detained migrants set fire to foam mattresses, to protest what they thought were plans to move or deport them.
