At least 40 people have died in Mexico after a fire swept through a refugee detention centre.
The President says the blaze broke out when migrants and asylum seekers set fire to mattresses after discovering they were being deported.
It happened in the northern city of Ciudad Juarez, near the border with the United States.
Al Jazeera's John Holman reports from Mexico City.
