Thirteen Mexican citizens have died in the custody of U.S. authorities during the current Trump administration, according to Mexico's Foreign Relations Ministry. The deaths occurred during ICE operations, four suicides, and one was the result of a shooting into ICE installations that hit a Mexican in custody. The victims, who ranged from 19 to 69, were from several different states across the nation. Two lawsuits have already been filed by family members and the remaining cases are under legal review. Foreign Relations Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente has responded to the detention of 177,192 Mexicans since the beginning of Trump's second term by strengthening its network of 53 consulates in the US.
