Mexico Files Criminal Complaints Over 17 ICE Custody Deaths
The July 14 notice also lodges a formal human rights complaint with the United Nations over the deaths.
- Criminal complaints go to the US Department of Justice and prosecutors in each victim's state.
- Cease-and-desist letters went to the detention centers where the deaths occurred.
- The complaints cover 17 Mexican nationals who died in ICE custody or during operations.
Why it matters: A foreign ministry can name the dead and file papers; only the arresting government judges the case.
