Fox News
The head of the Mexican Immigration Institute was arraigned on charges that he failed in his responsibility to protect the people in his custody when 40 migrants died in a fire.
Prosecutors presented evidence that Francisco Garduño, the head of the Mexican Immigration Institute, was responsible for the safety of country’s immigration facilities and should have closed those that did not meet safety requirements.
A migrant allegedly started a fire inside the Ciudad Juarez detention center March 27. Security cameras inside the facility showed smoke quickly filling the cell holding 68 male migrants, but no one with keys attempting to release them.
In addition to the 40 killed, more than two dozen were injured in the fire.
