Mexico immigration agency chief to be charged over deadly fire
Mexico has opened criminal proceedings against a top immigration official over a fire that killed 40 migrants in Ciudad Juarez last month, with prosecutors saying he was remiss in not preventing the disaster despite earlier indications of problems at the detention centres run by the agency.
The decision to file charges against Francisco Garduño, the head of Mexico’s National Immigration Institute, was announced on Tuesday by the federal attorney general’s office. Al Jazeera’s Raheela Mahomed reports. Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe
