April 9th .- El Salvador completed the repatriation process of seven Salvadorians who died in the fire at an immigration detention center in Ciudad Juarez.
Cindy Portal, vice minister of Diaspora and Human Mobility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of El Salvador, said yesterday that the government of the Central American country demands the resignation of those responsible for migration policies in Mexico after the death of seven Salvadorans in a fire at a migrant detention center in Ciudad Juarez.
“Above all, we are also demanding the resignation of the people who are responsible for Mexico’s migration policy,” the official said at a press conference.
On the night of March 27, a fire at the National Migration Institute center killed 40 migrants, among them seven Salvadorans, an incident that the Salvadoran government calls a “crime of state”.
Portal stressed that El Salvador “demands that those guilty of this crime pay with jail, that the Prosecutor’s Office does its job of carrying out an exhaustive investigation”.
El Salvador completed yesterday the repatriation process of seven compatriots who died in the fire at an immigration detention center in Ciudad Juarez on March 27 and reiterated its demand for a thorough investigation of the tragedy.
“We are demanding that those guilty of this crime can pay with jail,” Portal stressed.
He mentioned the case of 14 Salvadorans who were murdered in Tamaulipas in 2010 and the crime of Victoria Salazar a little more than two years ago in Tulum, Quintana Roo, in which, he said, several police officers were allegedly involved.
