Thirty-eight migrants were killed and 30 others injured in a fire at a migrant detention facility in the border city of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, started by occupants protesting their impending deportation, authorities said Tuesday.
A surveillance video showed migrants trapped in locked cells as the fire erupted, while two guards appeared to make no attempt to release the detained men as smoke filled the detention area. The authenticity of the video was confirmed by Interior Minister Adán Augusto López.
