Protesters in Mexico City demand justice for Mexicans allegedly killed by ICE

Dozens of migrants, civil associations, and citizens gathered at the Monument to the Revolution in Mexico City to demand justice for 80 Mexicans allegedly killed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Protesters carried signs with messages such as "Migrate to live, not to be murdered" and "No one is illegal on stolen land." They also placed photos of deceased migrants on the ground and distributed informational pamphlets.

The demonstration, known as the National Day of Action and Accountability, highlighted the plight of migrants facing violence and death. Some participants included organizations like the Institute for Democrats Abroad, Comunidad en Retorno, and Conexión Migrante.

This protest follows recent diplomatic actions by Mexico. On July 13, Mexico's ambassador to the United States, Roberto Lazzeri, filed 20 complaints with state and county prosecutors across the U.S. These complaints concern the deaths of 17 Mexican nationals who died either in ICE custody or during ICE operations. According to Mexico's Secretariat of Foreign Relations, these complaints were filed in states including Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, and Texas.
