April 12 (UPI) — The Mexican government has started a criminal investigation into a fire at an immigration center in Ciudad Juarez, filing charges against two directors of the National Immigration Institute on Tuesday.
The Prosecutor General’s Office of Mexico said in a statement the directors, identified in the report as Francisco N. and Antonio N., “engaged in alleged criminal conduct by failing to comply with their obligations to monitor, protect and provide security to people and facilities.”
It added that criminal proceedings were also launched against four additional public servants identified as Salvador N., Juan N., Cecilia N and Eduardo N.
The fire at the Provisional Immigration Center, just across the border from El Paso, Texas, killed 40 migrants and injured 25 others. Investigators said they arrested five people in all connected with the investigation. That included a staffer at a private security company and the person who allegedly started the fire.
