Mexican Government Promises Justice in Migrant’s Killing

Posted June 4, 2010 by Leslie Josephs

Mexican President Felipe Calderón is promising to “make use of all diplomatic resources” to bring the killers of Mexican migrant Anastasio Hernández Rojas’ killers to justice.

Hernández Rojas was allegedly beaten by U.S. border security in San Diego on May 28 and died on May 31.

In a statement, the Calderón administration said it was “deeply concerned” about evidence that suggests “that the death of Mr. Hernández Rojas may have been due to the excessive use of force by US federal agents, who were holding him in custody at the time.”
