Mexico’s Sheinbaum pushes back on Trump over migrant deaths and Cuba
Sheinbaum said 15 Mexican citizens have died in ICE custody in a little over a year and ordered daily consular visits.
- On Tuesday, President Claudia Sheinbaum ordered Mexican consular staff to conduct daily visits to U.S. immigration detention centers, replacing weekly check-ins amid mounting outrage over deaths of Mexican nationals in custody.
- The order followed the death of 49-year-old Mexican citizen Alejandro Cabrera Clemente, found unresponsive Saturday at the Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana. His death marked at least the 15th fatality in U.S. immigration custody since President Donald Trump took office.
- Mexico's government is referring cases of alleged medical neglect to the Inter-American Commission and considering appeals to the United Nations. Officials are also assisting families in filing legal complaints against U.S. authorities over poor detention conditions.
- Sheinbaum recently challenged the Trump administration's energy blockade of Cuba, calling the sanctions "unjust." The president is taking a harder diplomatic line after previously maintaining a measured tone on administration policies.
- Analyst Palmira Tapia noted Sheinbaum has "raised her tone," while former Mexican ambassador Arturo Sarukhan cautioned she must balance this vocal stance with upcoming USMCA renegotiations. The shift reflects both diplomatic leverage and negotiation risk.
