The Mexican government is considering legal action in the United States following the death of Jaime Alanís García, a 56-year-old migrant and agricultural worker from Michoacán. García died from fatal injuries sustained while fleeing a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid at a cannabis farm in Ventura County, California. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum described the death as "unacceptable" and announced that her administration is evaluating filing a formal complaint either in U.S. courts or before international bodies. The government of Michoacán and Mexico's foreign ministry have provided legal and consular support to García's family. The incident has sparked condemnation from Michoacán Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla and raised concerns about ICE enforcement operations in California. As of now, no lawsuit has been officially filed, but Mexico has issued a public warning signaling its intent to pursue accountability for the migrant's death.
