Sheinbaum Condemns ICE Raids: "Detained Migrants Are Not Criminals"

Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the recent ICE raids in Los Angeles, California, which resulted in the detention of dozens of Mexican migrants. Sheinbaum stated in a press conference: "These are not criminals; they are good, honest, hardworking men and women." She expressed outrage at the mass detentions and called for respect for the human rights of the detained individuals. The Mexican government, Sheinbaum emphasized, remains committed to protecting the rights of its citizens abroad. She confirmed that the government is in contact with the detained migrants and their families through consular channels. This incident underscores the ongoing tension surrounding immigration policies in the United States and the concerns of the Mexican government about the treatment of its citizens.
