Los migrantes partieron en marcha desde la calle Oro cerca del bulevar Norzagaray en Ciudad Juárez, para caminar por el bordo del Río Bravo y así llegar hasta las oficinas del Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) donde el lunes pasado fallecieron 39 personas y 27 más resultaron lesionadas en un incendio.

La intención de esta marcha fue hacerles ver a las autoridades y comunidad en general, el viacrucis que ellos como migrantes viven en su paso por México, además de que aprovecharon para pedir justicia por los hechos ocurridos en el INM.
