Dozens Die in Fire During Protest at Mexico Migrant Detention Center

Dozens of immigrants died during a fire at a Mexican detention center in the border city of Ciudad Juarez. The blaze began when detainees set fire to mattresses in protest after rumors that they would be deported, according to President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Human rights advocate Helena Olea told us that this does not diminish the responsibility of the Mexican government, whose custody the detained immigrants were under when they died. The full interview is available in the archives of Línea Abierta for Tuesday, March 28 at radiobilingue.org
