MEXICO CITY (AP) — Migrants fearing deportation set mattresses ablaze at an immigration detention center in northern Mexico, starting a fire that killed at least 40 people, the president said Tuesday, in one of the deadliest events ever at a Mexican immigration lockup.
UPDATED: Fire kills 39 people at Juarez migrant center
Hours after the fire broke out late Monday, rows of bodies were laid out under shimmery silver sheets outside the facility in Ciudad Juarez, which is across from El Paso, Texas, and a major crossing point for migrants. Ambulances, firefighters and vans from the morgue swarmed the scene.
Twenty-nine people were injured and are in “delicate-serious” condition, according to the National Immigration Institute.
At the time of the blaze, 68 men from Central and South America were being held at the facility, the agency said.

Illegals so unruly they set fires to be allowed to invade are not what I want allowed in the US. Sorry that I just can't muster up sympathy even in such tragedy. I guess I have become cold, but cold is the only thing that will stop the invasion and the illegals are banking on bleeding hearts to open the flood gates. Each time the door is cracked open, a million more hear of it opening, and start their journey to suck this nation dry.
