Mexico Files Criminal Complaints Over Migrant Deaths During ICE Operations Mexico's decision to file criminal complaints over migrant deaths during US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations marks a turning point in the country's long standing struggle for accountability and human rights.
The move comes as the US continues to grapple with its own identity, caught between an ever growing desire for security and an increasingly vocal pushback against the notion that human rights should be treated as optional.
For years, stories of migrants dying at the hands of US border authorities have circulated with numbing regularity, a grim reminder that even the most basic principles of dignity and respect can be callously disregarded on the desert sands.
