TL;DR Summary

At least 40 people were killed and 29 injured in a fire that broke out in an immigration detention facility in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Surveillance footage showed guards walking away as the fire raged, and it's not clear what happened before or after the video was taken. The immigrants were protesting the decision to deport them, and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador claimed that they "set fire" to the mattresses. The Mexican government has not commented on the video. The incident highlights the rising tension between migrants and Mexican authorities, as policies kept in place by the Biden administration have left thousands stranded in Mexico.
