Of the twenty people gunned down in an El Paso Walmart, seven were Mexican citizens. From NBC News:
“In a statement, the Foreign Ministry called the attack in El Paso a “terrorist act against innocent Mexicans.”
“Ebrard called Saturday’s shooting an “act of barbarism.”
“The president has instructed me to ensure that Mexico’s indignation translates into … efficient, prompt, expeditious and forceful legal actions for Mexico to take a role and demand that conditions are established that protect … Mexicans in the United States,” Ebrard said in a video posted on Twitter.“
The President of Mexico has demanded protection of Mexican citizens in the United States. And the deputy foreign minister lashed out at Donald Trump. Reuters reports:
“The modern world can’t allow such acts of XENOPHOBIC BARBARISM, which don’t happen in a vacuum. CEASE completely the RHETORIC that incites them,” Jesus Seade, Mexico’s deputy foreign minister for North America, wrote on Twitter.“
