Deadly Riot Claims Over 40 Women's Lives in Honduras Prison

At least 41 people were killed in a riot and fire at a women's prison in Honduras, with many burned to death. President Xiomara Castro fired the country's security minister and linked the violence to gangs, saying it happened with the "acquiescence of security authorities." The position will be filled by the director of the Honduras National Police. Honduras has a history of deadly prison incidents, with more than 350 dying in a prison fire in 2012 and at least 103 inmates killed in a fire in 2004.

Deadly Fire at Mexico Migrant Center Raises Questions and Sparks Arrest Warrants.

Six arrest warrants have been issued in connection with a deadly fire at a government-run migrant detention center in Mexico that killed 39 men and injured 28 others this week. The warrants were issued for three officials of the National Migration Institute, two security guards working with a private company the agency contracted to work at the center, and the person believed to have started the fire. Five of them have been arrested and are being indicted and arraigned on charges of “intentional homicide." Authorities are also investigating the conditions in which the migrants had been detained.

"Mexico migrant center fire sparks outrage and arrests"

At least eight people, including federal agents and a state immigration officer, are believed to be responsible for a deadly fire at a government-run migrant detention center in Mexico that killed 39 men this week. Two federal agents, one state immigration officer, and five other people from a private company contracted to provide security are believed to be responsible for the fire. The prosecutor general's office is in the process of requesting at least four arrest warrants, including one for a migrant. The fire that began Monday night inside the Estancia Provisional de Ciudad Juárez is one of the deadliest migrant tragedies near the U.S.-Mexico border in recent years.
