After it was made known that the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is seeking to acquire gloves that produce painful electric shocks, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo expressed her rejection of "raids" and human rights violations against migrants.
"We do not agree with raids or with the violation of the human rights of any person, but in particular of a Mexican man or woman who has gone to the United States to earn a living and who has already been there for many years. We have always stated this, and that is why lawsuits or complaints were filed regarding the deaths of Mexicans in detention centers or during arrests," she stressed yesterday when responding to a question on this topic at her morning press conference.
She announced that the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Roberto Velasco, will present a report next week on the status of the complaints filed following the deaths of fellow citizens during immigration operations.
The U.S. agency plans to invest up to 20 million dollars in the acquisition of this equipment, amid the intensification of migrant detentions under the Donald Trump administration.
