Fire leaves 37 dead and dozens more injured at Mexican migration center mere feet from US border

At least 37 people are dead and dozens more are injured after a fire broke out at a migration center in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, mere feet from the U.S. border, local media reported early Tuesday morning.

Heriberto Lara, a journalist for KVIA, reports that the National Institute of Migration in the border town caught fire on Monday evening. According to the El Paso Times, authorities had previously reported that eight to twelve people were thought to be dead, but that number rapidly increased.

According to Lara, the Mexican National Guard, Mexican Army, and Institute of Migration are also helping with the rescue and regeneration effort in addition to Juarez police officials.

According to Alfredo Corchado of the Dallas Morning News, lots of workers were removed from road corners where they were cleaning panels, selling candy, or soliciting donations years before the fire. They were largely thought to be Venezuelans.

Corchado continued by saying that the anticipated raising of Title 42 had caused a large influx of refugees to Ciudad Juarez in subsequent weeks. The U.S. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is scheduled to visit the place on Friday, and the movement center is only a few feet ahead.

Officials have not yet disclosed the cause of the fire. The death price is anticipated to keep rising.
