MEXICO CITY — A Mexican court has ruled that authorities must stop detaining minors at a migrant center in Mexico City following the death of a 10-year-old Guatemalan girl there. Monday’s ruling also says children in other detention centers must be identified immediately and have access to legal representation. The judges in a Mexico City court also ruled that immigration authorities must urgently put a system in place to allow children to leave detention. The Guatemalan girl died in May from injuries sustained in falling off a bunk at the detention center known as Las Agujas. The girl and her mother had been transported to Mexico City by bus from the northern border state of Chihuahua.
