CIUDAD JUREZ, MxicoAs white smoke and orange flames started to fill the cell, one man attempted to escape by frantically kicking the cell door. Another tried to shield himself from the heat by pouring water from a toilet over his body. Guards, meanwhile, appeared indifferent in security camera video of the incident, and walked out of the burning building as screams could be heard on the street in downtown Ciudad Jurez.

Thirty-nine migrants died locked in that cell as the immigration detention center burned on the night of March 27, and another died later at the hospital. At least one migrant in the cell allegedly started the fire in protest at not being given food and water by the guards for 10 hours.

Survivors say those who died did so for one reason: they could not or did not pay a $200 bribe to security guards to be released.

Three survivors and two guards at the facility told VICE World News that the immigration jail at the center of the tragedy was a defacto extortion center, where only migrants with the means to pay were released. Others would have to stay in jail and be sent to Mexico City or deported back to their origin country.

Pretty much maximally bleak. But borders create situations like this. They are focus points of state brutality.

I doubt anything will come of this. El Presidente is also on the take despite what he says

Why would you set a fire in response to that?
