墨西哥政府宣布，将向美国检方和司法部提出刑事指控，要求追究在特朗普政府期间死于移民执法行动或拘留中的 17 名墨西哥公民的责任 [1]。这一举措旨在通过法律手段而非仅靠外交渠道来抗议美国对墨西哥公民的待遇并制止人权侵犯 [1]。
直接导火索是休斯顿一名墨西哥公民洛伦佐·萨尔加多·阿劳霍（Lorenzo Salgado Araujo）被移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工射杀一事 [1]。对此，墨西哥总统谢因鲍姆表示该决定意在“超越外交渠道”升级抗议 [1]。
除了刑事指控外，墨西哥外交部还将对运营相关拘留中心的公司提起民事诉讼 [1]。
The Mexican government has announced it will seek criminal charges against officials responsible for the deaths of 17 Mexican citizens who died during immigration enforcement actions or while in custody under the Trump administration [1]. This legal move represents an escalation beyond diplomatic channels, aiming to protest U.S. treatment of Mexicans and stop human rights violations through judicial means rather than solely relying on state-to-state relations [1]. The immediate catalyst for this decision was the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican citizen in Houston by agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) [1]. Mexico's Foreign Ministry stated it will submit requests to both U.S. state prosecutors' offices and the Department of Justice regarding these deaths [1]. In addition to pursuing criminal accountability for the 17 fatalities, Mexico plans to file civil lawsuits against companies operating detention centers where some victims were held [1]. Mexican President Sheinbaum declared that this decision marks a shift "beyond diplomatic channels" to intensify protests and hold perpetrators legally accountable [1].
