The President of Mexico is considering legal action against ICE for the death of a Mexican national.

FACT CHECK: He died from a fall while RUNNING AWAY from ICE to EVADE arrest. He was not kiIIed by ICE and did not die in ICE custody.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that her administration is considering filing a formal complaint in U.S. courts over immigration raids in the United States.Last week, a Mexican national without legal status in the U.S. died after he fell from a building roof while attempting to flee an immigration operation in California.

Jaime Alanis Garcia, a cannabis farmworker who was injured during a chaotic immigration raid by federal authorities in Southern California, died on Saturday, his family said. His death came days after he fell about 30 feet during a raid by federal immigration agents at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California.

“The family is being supported. The family is being contacted, and we are also looking at the possibility of reporting there because it is unacceptable. It is being reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” Sheinbaum said on Tuesday.

Why It Matters

Tensions in California have been escalating over U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, with protests and unrest erupting in Los Angeles last month following deportation raids carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents throughout the city. Trump has vowed to remove millions of migrants as part of the GOP’s flagship mass deportation policy.

What To Know

Garcia, 56, died at a hospital in Ventura County. He was admitted on Thursday with fractures to his skull and neck, along with a ruptured artery supplying blood to his brain.

Sheinbaum said Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was reviewing the legal avenues for filing the complaint.
