FILE - People take part in a vigil for the victims of a fire at an immigration detention center that killed dozens, outside the detention center in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, March 28, 2023. Two guards who fled a fire that killed 40 migrants in a locked Mexican detention center did not have keys to the cell door, Mexicos president said Tuesday, April 11, 2023.
On Wednesday, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that even though the Attorney General’s Office was investigating Garduño, prosecutors had revealed few details and it was not exactly clear what they would charge him with.Anger initially focused on two guards who were seen fleeing the March 27 fire, without unlocking the cell door to allow the migrants to escape. But President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said earlier Tuesday that they didn’t have the keys.
There have long been complaints about corruption and bad conditions at Mexico’s migrant detention facilities, but they have never been seriously addressed. The guards are seen hurrying away as smoke fills the facility, and they did not appear to make any effort to release the migrants. In Guatemala City, relatives of the victims gathered at an air force base with flowers and photos of the deceased to mark their return.
