Mexico releases names of migrants affected by Juárez fire

Mexican authorities released the names of the victims of a Monday fire inside a migrant holding center in Juárez. The list doesn't specify who is dead and who is alive.

According to information provided Tuesday by Mexico's federal investigative body, the Fiscalía General de la República, 37 men were killed in the fire and two more died of their injuries in the hospital. A total of 68 migrants were detained in cells located in an immigration center near the foot of the Stanton-Lerdo international bridge in Juárez.

Grupos Beta, a Mexican federal migrant rescue agency, on Wednesday said 24 people remained hospitalized in Juárez, in hospitals belonging to the Mexican public health system. They included 15 intubated men and nine men in stable condition.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Wednesday said the agency had processed "zero medical transfers" from Juárez of fire victims. The agency had indicated previously that it was prepared to use humanitarian parole on a case-by-case basis to allow seriously injured individuals to receive critical care at hospitals in El Paso.

Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador offered his condolences to the families of those killed in the fire in his opening comments Wednesday at his daily morning news conference.

"My most profound sympathies to our Venezuelan, Guatemalan, Salvadoran, Ecuadorian and Colombian brothers and sisters and to the governments of these countries," he said.

López Obrador said he has asked federal investigators "to continue their investigation and determine who is to blame, so that there isn’t impunity and it’s clear who was responsible, and that those who caused this painful tragedy are punished.”

A journey with 'no return'

Mexico Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed in a Twitter post late Tuesday that his agency had been in contact with authorities in the six nations whose citizens were killed in the fire.

The Consulate of El Salvador in Juárez late Tuesday said four Salvadoran nationals were hospitalized with serious injuries. The consulate said in a statement it couldn't yet confirm the number of dead, as work was ongoing to corroborate the number of victims.

Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei on Wednesday published an official declaration beginning three days of national mourning for the Guatemalan nationals killed in the fire. According to Guatemalan newspaper Prensa Libre, the government had yet to release an official number of those killed.

Guatemala's Migration Institute said in a statement on Tuesday that "irregular migration carries a series of risks that are now again in evidence."

The agency called on Guatemalan nationals to think twice before making a trek north "that often has no return, no final destination."
