Mexican man kills himself after being deported from US

"Guadalupe Olivas Valencia, 45, jumped from a bridge at the border after he was deported for the third time. He was found unconscious next to a plastic bag with his belongings and died in hospital a short while later.

 


"His death came as the Trump administration issued new guidelines to widen the net for deporting illegal immigrants from the U.S. Witnesses said Mr Olivas was shouting that he did not want to return to Mexico and seemed to be in severe distress.

"He jumped off a bridge just yards from El Chaparral, the main border crossing point between the U.S. city of San Diego and Tijuana in Mexico. Local media said a plastic bag like those U.S. Customs and Border Protection authorities put migrants' belongings in was next to the man. Mexican migration officials said it was the third time Mr Olivas had been deported from the U.S. 

He died of a heart attack and concussion sustained when he hit the ground"

"Mr Olivas was a native of Sinaloa, one of Mexico's most violent states and the stronghold of the cartel formerly led by jailed drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman. Many Mexicans cite high levels of violence as a reason for leaving their homeland for the U.S."
