Migrants burned mats in protest against deportation and the situation ended up in tragedy

The fire that broke out on Monday night and caused the death of 39 migrants, originated after a burning of mattresses to protest a possible deportation, assured President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

In his conference this Tuesday, March 28th, the President explained that inside the ranch, a group of undocumented migrants set fire to some mattresses to express their refusal to be returned to their countries of origin, but it got out of control.

At about 9:30 at night, a fire broke out in a migrant shelter at the border in Ciudad Juarez and the outcome was 39 migrants dead.
