In a video statement posted on social media Sunday, Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard condemned the “act of barbarism” carried out in El Paso, Texas that took the lives of at least seven Mexican citizens and injured another nine. Mexico, he said, will take legal action to make sure that the U.S. takes steps to better protect Mexicans in the country.
The horrific shooting at a Walmart near the Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso Saturday, which left 20 people dead and another 26 injured, was an “act of barbarism” and a “terrorist act against innocent Mexicans,” Foreign Minister Ebrard said in the video, as reported by NBC News. The U.S., he suggested, has failed to take appropriate measures to protect Mexican citizens.
