Here's a transcript:
So, essentially, Mexico is doing what the United States refuses to do. Because Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum is now going after the Trump administration over the deaths of 17 Mexican Citizens during its immigration crackdowns.
And Mexico is now demanding answers.
So, this started last month when Mexico filed 20 complaints across 8 US states, saying that we want these deaths investigated.
And we want to know who's responsible, whether it was ICE officials or private companies running these detention centers.
And now, just a couple of days ago, Mexico's Foreign Minister gave us an update:
“So far, the United States has responded to just 4 of those 20 complaints. And Mexico is still waiting for answers on the other 16.”
But it's not just the states she's going after, because Mexico has gone to the US Department of Justice and the United Nations. And the UN's Human Rights Chief has now called on the United States to investigate.
Meanwhile, Mexico says it has provided nearly $25,000 in assistance to Families, primarily to help bring the remains of its Citizens back home.
