Investigation into Deadly Migrant Center Fire in Ciudad Juarez Continues.

Mexican authorities are investigating eight employees or officials for possible misconduct at a migrant detention center where a fire killed 39 detained men. Five of those under investigation are private security guards, two are federal immigration agents, and one is a Chihuahua state officer. The investigation has centered on the fact that guards appeared to make no effort to open cell doors for the detained men before smoke filled the room in a matter of seconds. The deaths caused frustration, and may have played a role in a mass march by hundreds of migrants, who began walking toward a U.S. border crossing in the belief that American authorities would let them through.
