| Description | An alarming US border policy forced fumigations on migrants at the US-Mexico border.

The same practice had caused a fire in an El Paso jail the year before and killed 27 people. 17-year-old Juárez maid Carmelita Torres refused to go through it, sparking a protest of thousands of Mexicans at the El Paso border.
