Tensions between Mexico and the United States have increased due to the treatment of Mexican citizens. Mexico's government is seeking action over the deaths of 17 Mexicans in US custody. The deaths occurred during immigration enforcement operations or while in ICE custody, under the Trump administration.

Mexico will submit a request to consider criminal charges against those responsible. Further details on this development are available from CBS Texas, including the plan to submit requests to state prosecutors' offices and the US Department of Justice, as well as civil lawsuits against detention center operators.
