(AP pic) MEXICO CITY : A Mexican citizen died in a US immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) detention centre from undetermined circumstances, Mexico's foreign ministry has said. The death comes amid ongoing demonstrations in several US states, most prominently in California, against immigration enforcement raids launched by US President Donald Trump's administration. The man died on June 7 at an ICE facility in the southern state of Georgia, where he was being held after he was transferred from a state prison, the foreign ministry said in a statement yesterday. US authorities notified the Mexican consulate in Georgia's capital Atlanta of the death. 'Consular staff has established communication with local and ICE authorities, as well as with the individual's family members, to clarify the facts, confirm the official cause of death, and provide legal advice and support to the family,' the ministry said. Mexico's foreign ministry said consular staff had not been notified to interview the detainee while he was in custody, despite regular visits to the facility to assist Mexican nationals. 'The consulate has requested an explanation from the (detention) centre's authorities,' the ministry said. It also said it was examining legal options and maintaining communication with the Georgia bureau of investigation, the state's independent investigative body.

Remains of man mysteriously found dead in Tampa 28 years ago to be returned to Mexico
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A man's remains will finally be returned home to his family over a quarter century after his mysterious death. The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's Office said Rodolfo Barcenas Guerrero was found dead in Tampa in the fall of 1997 near 43rd Street and 7th Avenue. Plastic surgeon accused of murdering Largo attorney represents himself in court A resident alien card and social security card found with his remains clued investigators in on his identity. However, when they contacted the Mexican Consulate in November 1997 to try to find his family, they had no luck. The cause and manner of Guerrero's death were ruled 'undetermined.' Still, authorities never gave up on trying to find his family. Guerrero's case was one of many cold cases recently revisited. The medical examiner's office has been able to crack over three dozen cold cases with recent breakthroughs in DNA technology, but said all this one took was 'the right people in the right places.' Last year, the medical examiner's office reached out to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as well as the Mexican Consulate, with renewed hopes of solving the case. Officials said Customs and Border Protection's Missing Migrant program then found Guerrero's sister in Guanajuato, a Mexican state just northwest of Mexico City. She submitted a cheek swab to compare against his DNA, and it was a match. The medical examiner's office said Friday the Mexican Consulate was arranging for Guerrero's cremated remains to be returned to his family in Guanajuato. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
