U.S. policies had an indisputable role in the death of 40 people in the Ciudad Juárez immigrant detention center fire. They were among thousands forced to stay in #Mexico for a chance to seek protection in the U.S.

Dozens of migrant men were killed in a fire that broke out at a Mexican immigration detention center this week.
