Mexico City, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 31st Mar, 2023 ) :Five people have been arrested over a fire at a Mexican immigration detention center near the US border that left 39 migrants dead and 27 injured, authorities said Thursday.
The announcement came a day after the attorney general's office announced a homicide investigation into the disaster, accusing the people in charge of the facility of doing nothing to evacuate the migrants.
Five arrest warrants have already been executed, Sara Irene Herrerias, a prosecutor specializing in human rights, told a news conference.
They "have already been placed at the disposal of the judge," she added.
A total of six warrants were issued against three immigration officials, two private security guards and a migrant accused of starting the fire, she said, without specifying which of them were arrested.
