Mexican court closes case over deadly 2023 migrant detention fire
Original: Mexican court closes case against official over 2023 detention centre fire
A Mexican court has closed the case against an official implicated in the 2023 detention centre fire in Ciudad Juárez, which killed dozens of migrants held at the facility. The ruling means no criminal proceedings will go ahead against the official, drawing criticism from families of victims and rights groups who have long demanded accountability for one of Mexico's deadliest migrant tragedies.
Why now: People are discussing the ruling because it shuts down a key avenue for accountability in a fire that killed around 40 migrants and became a symbol of Mexico's treatment of detainees.
