Mexico's migration institute (INM) on Wednesday said it will suspend operations at 33 migrant detention centers as the country's rights watchdog completes a review of the sites in the wake of a fire that killed 40 migrants in government custody.
The facilities, located nationwide, can house up to 1,300 people at a time for stays of up to seven days, the migration institute said in a statement.
They will remain closed until the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) can inspect the sites and issue a final report.
