MEXICO CITY—Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has issued a forceful condemnation regarding the deaths of three Mexican nationals while in the custody of U.S. immigration authorities this year, demanding comprehensive investigations into each case. The statement came in response to the recent death of a 19-year-old, Royer Perez Jimenez, at the Glades County Detention Center in Florida, which U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has preliminarily classified as a presumed suicide. President Sheinbaum expressed profound dismay, stating, “This can’t be happening,” and emphasized that while initial reports suggest suicide, her government insists on a transparent and thorough probe to ascertain the full circumstances. The fatalities also include a 48-year-old man who died in a California facility in March and a 34-year-old in Georgia in January, both occurring during heightened enforcement actions. The Mexican government declared these recurring incidents “unacceptable” and vowed to employ all available legal and diplomatic mechanisms to protect its citizens’ rights abroad. This development occurs amidst a backdrop of intensifying U.S. immigration enforcement, with ICE reporting at least 30 migrant deaths in detention centers last year—the highest figure since the agency’s establishment in 2003—and former President Donald Trump promising an unprecedented deportation campaign.
