The harsh reality came upon the National Institute of Migration and the federal government on the issue of the 38 migrants who burned to death in a migration station in Ciudad Juárez. There is a video that reveals how three guards locked up the migrants when the flames already exceeded the gates of the immigration station, where they were treated as detainees and not as temporary guests in the “safe third country” that, in fact, has been converted Mexico.
The 4T has no way of offering security to migrants. In seconds, the smoke covered the painful scene. Behind that curtain the “American dream” of these migrants was buried. What they found after their long pilgrimage was a death trap. The scene of the guards caused not only outrage, but vomit. “They don’t have a mother. What a fucking humanist or what the fuck, ”summarized the tireless activist, Jaime Martinez Velozin the message that he attached to the video that he distributed via WhatsApp.
* All the victims are men, Guatemalans and Hondurans and, if we pay attention to the highly respected senator from the Plural Group, Emily Alvarez Hunts, many were there after being deported to Mexico. When talking about the subject, the senator’s tense voice reflected anger and impotence for what happened in Ciudad Juárez. “This tragedy, which could have been prevented, is nothing more than the expression of the criminal negligence of this government. The fact that the people have protested for lack of water and in the face of the fire they have not opened the padlock and that is why they died, only exhibits and highlights even more the criminal policy of managing people on the move in this country. Several of the people who died there are among those that the US deported to Mexico in the unworthy role that the government of this country has accepted as a safe third country. How many tragedies have to happen so that a true policy can be made in defense of human rights?” asked the senator.
In the legislator’s team, with a long history in the fight for human rights, there was annoyance over the tweet that Alejandro Encinas, undersecretary for Human Rights, Population and Migration, uploaded, related to the tragedy: “Inami must review the protocols in its migratory stations and guarantee the rights of migrants. The victims deserve truth and justice and that the events are not repeated.”
After the child drowned.
* The tragedy became politicized at the speed of fire. The PAN members were reminded of everything they were told when the tragedy at the ABC nursery in Hermosillo occurred. Today they request the “immediate resignation” of Marcelo Ebrard, Adam Augusto Lopezand the commissioner of Inami, Francisco Garduno Yanez. “The root of this tragedy is found in the lurches of the federal government’s immigration policy,” said the national head of the PAN, Marko Cortes. In the same tune he pronounced veronica juarez, coordinator of the New Left current in the PRD. She asks me to roll my head Garduno. And he points out: “This is one of the many serious consequences that Mexico has accepted, in fact, to become a safe third country for migrants trying to cross into the US.”
* The accusing index also rose between two of the caps of Morena. The Secretary of the Interior took advantage of the interview that I did to him Joaquin Lopez-Dorigaon Radio Formula, to hold responsible ebrard of the government’s migration policy: “Although formally it is the Ministry of the Interior, for administrative purposes, there is an agreement within the government and it is Marcelo, the Secretary of Foreign Relations, who is in charge of the immigration issue,” he said. Although he later corrected: “It is a matter of teamwork, of shared responsibilities and that is why in this and other issues, we all have to stand up for the government.”
At the Foreign Ministry they acknowledged receipt. From there we received an informative note that states: “What the SRE does is carry out the negotiation of migratory issues. The Inami operation depends on Segob. They should ask who is the director of that center and who reports to him”. And they remember that, according to Mexican legislation, the conduct of immigration policy corresponds to the federal Executive, through the Segob, the main immigration authority in the country. And they cite the decree creating the Intersecretarial Commission for Comprehensive Care in Migration Matters, to clarify: “The Foreign Ministry acts as the coordinating body for the programs and actions of the Mexican authorities with jurisdiction over migration matters, but in no way substitutes or assumes the main powers of said authorities”.
After 9 at night, Marcelo Ebrard He posted a tweet in which he declined to respond directly to the head of the Segob. “I will not make political considerations for the moment,” he said. He reported that those responsible for having locked up the migrants have already been brought before the FGR.
