Mexican Migration Agent Killed at Border Checkpoint; Three Arrested

The agent was fatally attacked in Chihuahua after requesting identification from migrants, with two Venezuelans and a Colombian detained as suspects.

Luis Alberto Olivas García, a Mexican migration agent with 30 years of service, was killed at a checkpoint near Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.
Authorities reported that the agent suffered a head injury and showed other signs of violence after being attacked by a group of migrants.
Three suspects—two Venezuelan men and a Colombian man—were apprehended in connection with the attack, though no charges have been filed yet.
The incident occurred as the agent requested identification documents from migrants traveling through the area, according to Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM).
The killing comes weeks before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s anticipated immigration crackdown, prompting heightened tensions at the U.S.-Mexico border.
