A Mexican has killed himself 30 minutes after being deported from the US
Guadalupe Olivas Valencia was found unconscious next to a plastic bag with his belongings shortly after crossing the border.
It was the third time the 45-year-old had been deported and he died in hospital from a heart attack and concussion.
According to the BBC, the Mexican was heard shouting he did not want to return shortly before jumping from a bridge near a border crossing.
Investigators are said to have found documents inside a bag he was carrying that had the crest of the US Customs and Border Protection.
It comes as the US government issued two memos aimed at speeding up the removal of illegal immigrants.
One enforces an existing provision that allows the US to send back illegal immigrants despite where they are from.
Mr Olivas was from Sinaloa, one of Mexico’s most violent states.
Mexico’s Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray has said the country will take legal action to defend the rights of Mexican citizens abroad.
