I've seen 0 articles state the men that were burned alive were accused of sexual harassment or refused shelter, not that any of that should prevent a guard from saving their lives. I have, however seen reports of authorities abusing their power in the area:

>The Associated Press reported that more than 30 migrant shelters and other advocacy organizations published an open letter earlier this month that complained of a criminalization of migrants and asylum-seekers in the city. The letter accused authorities of abuse and excessive force while rounding up migrants, even questioning people in the street about their immigration status without any cause.

We're not talking about some maximum security prison filled with psychopaths and murderers, it's a border detention facility. Filled with immigrants entering or leaving the country. They certainly weren't charged with any crimes that should preclude them from currently being alive.

If I were a betting man I'd wager the fact that they are immigrants from the areas south of the US is the reason people are sprinting into the chat to morally absolve the guards of their obligation to save these people.

>The migrants were stuck in Ciudad Jaurez because U.S. immigration policies don’t allow them to cross the border to file asylum claims. But they were rounded up because Ciudad Juarez residents were tired of migrants blocking border crossings or asking for money.

Yes those dangerous prisoners that were detained for standing around and asking for money.

He said he did that for Earth and his family's protection, since it seemed as though trouble had followed him around for the better part of this life.

But yes, poor Chi Chi. :( That woman may have a stick up her ass but she puts up with so much from that man.
