Mexico announced on Monday that it will formally request criminal charges be filed in United States courts following the deaths of 17 Mexican citizens by U.S. immigration authorities or in their custody. President Claudia Sheinbaum made the announcement during her daily press conference, days after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a raid in Houston on July 7. Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico is not seeking conflict but cannot remain silent about human rights violations against its citizens. She called on all political parties and Mexican society to show solidarity with fellow citizens in the U.S.
