Mexican authorities arrested a dozen police officers in connection with the murder of 19 people in Tamaulipas state, according to local Attorney General Irving Barrios Mojica.
The officers were charged with homicide, abuse of authority and giving false statements, Barrios said. Interior Minister Olga Sanchez, who is standing in at daily press briefings
for President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador while he battles Covid-19, said the federal government is aiding the local investigation.
“We’ve had problems with many immigration officials, precisely with this type of violation of rights, and we have to recognise them to move forward,” Sanchez said in a press briefing.
