At least 39 people in northern Mexico have died in a fire at a migrant detention centre.
It happened in the northern city of Ciudad Juarez, near the border with the United States.
About 70 people are believed to have been inside.
28 of those killed were Guatemalan nationals.
Mexico's president says the blaze broke out when migrants and asylum seekers set fire to mattresses after finding out they would be deported.
Some family members are waiting for information about their loved ones.
