Six arrest warrants have been issued in connection with a deadly fire at a government-run migrant detention center in Mexico that killed 39 men and injured 28 others this week, officials said Thursday evening.
The warrants were issued for three officials of the National Migration Institute, the agency running the detention center that burned down, two security guards working with a private company the agency contracted to work at the center and the person believed to have started the fire, Sara Irene Herrerías, an attorney with the prosecutor general’s office, which is leading the investigation, said at a news conference.
Herrerías said five of them have been arrested and are being indicted and arraigned on charges of “intentional homicide."
