Mexico Cites 30 ICE Abuse Complaints, Boosts Consular Aid as Advocates Press Demands

Officials say the cases have been taken to the U.N. to escalate pressure over migrant protections.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said 30 formal complaints allege human-rights violations against Mexicans detained during recent ICE raids.
  • She announced reinforced consular support, including funding so detainees can hire U.S.-based attorneys to file complaints and pursue cases.
  • More than 100 migrant organizations urged expanded consular capacity, a stronger PALE legal-assistance program, a centralized case-tracking database, and broader México te Abraza services.
  • Mexican officials reported a decline in remittances they attribute to intensified enforcement operations in the United States.
  • U.S. President Donald Trump defended aggressive ICE tactics in a TV interview and said the operations should go further.
