 42 Mexicans detained and four deported, says Mexico's foreign minister

At least 42 Mexicans - 37 men and five women - are being held in four detention centres after recent immigration raids took place in Los Angeles, Mexico's foreign minister says.

Speaking to the press this morning, Juan Ramon de la Fuente says the majority of the Mexicans detained were working when they were arrested. Four have already been deported, he adds.

"We will continue our visits to monitor the Mexicans in detention centres in Los Angeles," de la Fuente says.

This comes as Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the violent unrest in Los Angeles while calling on US authorities to respect the rule of law in migration processes.
