Say, can we now sue Mexico for every Mexican illegal who has hurt or killed a US citizen?
Mexico says it will pursue legal action against US after deadly ICE shooting in Houston
Mexico says it will pursue legal action against the U.S. following Tuesday’s deadly shooting involving an ICE agent in Houston.
“Our objective is to go beyond diplomatic notes and the measures we have already raised before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, because we cannot allow the mistreatment of our fellow Mexicans in the United States,” President Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters Wednesday. “Unfortunately, there has been another death of a Mexican national in the United States for being detained, when that person’s only offense was lacking immigration documents, even though they had been hired by an American company.”
On Tuesday, ICE claims they were conducting a vehicle stop as part of a targeted enforcement operation to arrest a man they say was living in the country illegally. ICE alleges that the man, identified as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, attempted to evade arrest, rammed his car into an ICE vehicle, and refused commands to stop.
The agency said the man tried to run over an agent, leading to the officer firing his weapon in what ICE claims is self-defense. ICE states that the man was hit and was taken to the hospital, where he died.
They bodycam footage will most likely show this, and, can NICE then sue Mexico because one of their citizens attempted to kill a US federal agent? BTW, if you are caught illegally in Mexico they will throw you in a nasty jail.
Now hold Mexico responsible for all the crimes committed by their citizens who entered the US illegally. Every single one.
And then hold them responsible for the crimes of every illegal who passed through Mexico on their way to the US.
This sounds like a statement made for internal Mexican political consumption. We should respond with a 100% tariff on all Mexican goods until we cover the US legal costs for this nonsense.
