Mexico took Washington to the International Court of Justice at the Hague last month, saying more than 50 of its nationals on death row should get retrials because U.S. authorities breached an international treaty by failing to tell them of their rights to consular help after their arrests.

U.S. authorities breached an international treaty by failing to tell them of their rights to consular help after their arrests Did these guys tell the US authorities that they're Mexican citizens? If not, then the US authorities were bound to assume that they were Americans (since illegal entry into the country is a crime, and they must be presumed innocent of that crime until proven guilty).
