  1. Every instance in the loss of human life is a tragedy and must be looked at as such. May God bless all of The grieving families of these men. It is terrible regardless.

    I can't believe the evil comments making fun of this and the extremely simplistic generalizations concomitant with a lack of critical thinking. There is no instance in which this is ever okay. It is also highly unlikely all ~30+ migrants, HUMANS, banded together to hatch the scheme of burning the mattresses to get out…

  2. Mexican President 🖕🏻

  3. illegal immigrants. there's a difference between legal and illegal.

  4. 😭😭😭 if it’s inhumane then being em to the US, don’t complain act!

  5. omfg this is so sad, imagine how scary that must have been 😰😰

  6. They though they would let them out if they stated a fire I guess they were wrong .

  7. Wow Mexico doing America's dirty work. Why should we care? That migrant center is ran with our money

  8. Bro…. They hella let them die

  9. Wait so they get rejected by US and tell them to wait but they dont want that. So why would Mexico let them in come on. Not against immigration but we sure dont see the problem in the overall way things are going. Is like trying to help is dangerous and should be done😊

  10. They couldn't unlock it or all of the migrants would escape

  11. Mexico doesn’t offer luxury suites in the finest hotels like in New York. Illegals stay home.

  12. the migrants set fire to force their release. They got what they caused. Death.

  13. Best believe the Americans set this up to get rid of the migrants. The Americans are poisoning the water left in the border area for migrants, they literally poison people and blame cartels.

  14. No fire extinguisher

  15. Man if they left people locked up in there and just ran out, that's some evil, disgusting, unforgivable behavior.

  16. Looks like whoever lit that mattress on fire got a Darwin award and felt like sharing the award with everyone else in the cell. I feel bad but at the same time if they weren't trying to sneak into other countries illegally they never would have been in that situation in the first place.

  17. If they had stayed where they were ……

  18. By “questions”, do you mean “suspicions”?

  19. Mexicos President is literally a big fat joke

  20. DEPORT ALL THESE CRIMINALS!!! BUILD THE WALL.. AMERICA FIRST!!!

  21. Wait, migrant can get medical care right away , and us Citizens have to wait 4 months just to get and appointment to see one.

  22. Thank god this could have been one of our schools.

  23. Yeah look how trashy those ppl are. They don’t care about anything They just want to come trash our country. Just go back to your country You give legal migrants a bad reputation

  24. Don't come illegally, and these things wouldn't happen. Furthermore, they were deported by the U.S. is not helping,and it shouldn't help illegals. Period ! The reporter didn't listen to the Mexican president! Stated They stated they were being deportedddd!!! TX has new laws in place now. " NO more illegal crossings you will be deported!! Held in mexico!! God bless TX!!!

  25. They would've overpowered the guards if they opened the cells. An old desperate trick to take over the facility, set a fire…

  26. So, these people are doing this to themselves.😮 WTH. Quit coming over here.

  27. Of course this was done purposely

  28. Lmao that activist heard the screams and didn't do anything

  29. Unlock the doors.
    People need to help people, no matter what part of the world one comes from.
    We are all human.

  30. Really appreciate your reporting 🙏
    You start a fire INSIDE a Mexican jail and EXPECT THEM to let you out ???
    You just flunked your entry exam….😘

  31. Lol I would walk away too.

  32. What the heck are you doing in Mexico if you're from Venezuela or honduras Get Out my country!

  33. they started the fire and then expected the guards to help. They are watching American tv

  34. Whoever caused the fire must be taken into custody and accounted for their action. They caused a domino effect of lives lost.

  35. It’s kind of funny cuz they did it to themselves not funny they died more funny people are trying to blame anyone but the people who started the fire. And no one tried stopping them.
