"Sheinbaum's latest rebuke came on Tuesday, a day after 49-year-old Mexican citizen Alejandro Cabrera Clemente died in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency detention centre in Louisiana. The incident was the fifteenth death of a Mexican citizen in US custody in little over a year."
"Mexico's government quickly called the deaths unacceptable and the ICE detention centres incompatible with human rights standards and the protection of life. Sheinbaum said on Tuesday that she requested investigations into the deaths of the 15 migrants."
"We are going to defend Mexicans at every level, Sheinbaum said, adding that there are many Mexicans whose only crime is not having papers."
The Mexican government has expressed alarm over the deaths of its citizens in US custody, particularly following the recent death of Alejandro Cabrera Clemente. President Claudia Sheinbaum has adopted a firmer stance against the Trump administration's policies, including the energy blockade on Cuba. Sheinbaum has requested investigations into the deaths and instructed consulates to monitor detention centers. The government plans to raise these issues with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and is considering appealing to the UN, emphasizing the need to protect Mexicans facing deportation.
