Mexico is seeking a criminal investigation in the United States related to the deaths of 17 Mexicans in immigration operations during President Donald Trump’s second term.

Of the 17 Mexican immigrants who have died, 14 were in ICE custody and three died in operations carried out by the agency, according to Velasco.
Mexico will also send cease and desist letters to the private companies that manage US detention centers where the deaths of Mexicans have been recorded. The letters are “a legal mechanism … through which a civil action is initiated,” Velasco said.
The US Department of Homeland Security said in a statement to CNN that all immigrant detainees receive full due process and proper care, and that ICE officers are “trained to use the minimum amount of force necessary.” CNN has also reached out to the US Department of Justice for comment on Mexico’s plans.

Mexico will also appeal to international authorities, with plans to submit requests to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the UN human rights chief, according to Velasco.
