Immigration Mexican president says US soldier killed Mexican migrant

[jets2345]

Tragedy has struck the border city of Ciudad Juarez in Chihuahua, as a US National Guard member killed a man of Mexican origin last Saturday. Darwin Jose Garcia, a 37-year-old from the coastal state of Veracruz, was shot while attempting to cross into the United States. Initial reports stated that he was only injured and treated at a Mexican hospital for a gunshot wound to his leg. However, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador revealed on Tuesday that the US officer had actually killed the migrant. The situation furthers the ongoing tension between the United States and Mexico and raises questions about the use of force by US officials along the border.
