Mexico asks US state attorneys general to investigate immigrant ICE deaths

Since start of Trump's second term, 14 Mexican immigrants have died in ICE custody and three in agency operations

Mexico formally requested that US state attorneys general criminally investigate cases of immigrants who have died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody or during raids, the Mexican government said Tuesday.

The request follows the death of Mexican immigrant Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Houston. Since the beginning of Donald Trump's second term, 17 Mexican immigrants have died during immigration enforcement, 14 in ICE custody and three in agency operations.
