PRESIDENT Claudia Sheinbaum described the killing of six migrants when police opened fire on a lorry as “deplorable” on Thursday.

The vehicle was carrying migrants from half a dozen countries when the shooting happened last Tuesday.

Of the slain, three were from Egypt, one came from Peru and one from Honduras. The other has apparently not yet been identified. Authorities have not yet released their ages, but at least one may have been a child.
