These are the 17 Mexicans whose ICE-related deaths prompted Mexico to demand accountability

Some had spent decades in the United States working, building their lives, starting families and forming communities. Others are known only by their names, ages, arrests and the place where they died. The stories and backgrounds of these 17 Mexican immigrants are different. But they all had a common outcome: they died in the mass immigration crackdown launched during US President Donald Trump’s second term in office, according to the Mexican government. Their deaths have escalated tensions between Mexico and the US. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has condemned their deaths, saying the entire country shared the pain of their families. On Monday, Mexico began filing complaints to US state and federal prosecutors to request criminal investigations, and sent cease-and-desist letters to private companies that manage US detention centers where Mexican immigrants have died.
