A Chihuahua state human rights investigator who charged that he has evidence of Mexican army abuses in the battle to control violence is in custody of U.S. officials, a spokeswoman with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Friday.
Two weeks ago, Gustavo de la Rosa Hickerson said he could document instances in which Mexican soldiers extorted, kidnapped, tortured, beat or killed innocent people..
He also said none of those cases were being prosecuted by the Mexican government, and said at the time that he was afraid for his safety and that of his family..
ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa did not indicate why he was in custody or if he is seeking asylum in the U.S. .
