A guard at an immigration facility near the US border where dozens of people were tragically killed this morning refused to open the door and let detainees out despite the menacing blaze burning the building down, it is claimed.
A total of 39 people have been confirmed dead as of now and another 29 are hospitalised, after a fire at a detention centre of Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) in Ciudad Juarez, which is near the US-Mexico border, across from El Paso, Texas.
The President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, claimed that the detainees themselves started the fire, as an act of protest against their deportations.
