The child, aged 8, was pronounced dead at a hospital where he was treated when he suddenly suffered a serious health problem
A small immigrant girl has died after being apprehended by Border Patrol agents in Harlingen, Texas (South), CBP announced.
The child, aged 8, was pronounced dead at a hospital where he was taken when he suddenly suffered a serious health problem, according to the federal police service.
He added that an investigation is being carried out into the death of the child, who had been arrested and held together with his parents. Her name and country of origin were not released.
The inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security has been notified of the case, according to the CBP statement.
This is the first death of a child at the hands of the American border guard since 2019, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times newspaper, which is broadcast by the German Agency. At the time, the death of a 16-year-old boy from Guatemala had sparked an outcry over Republican President Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy.
The administration of his successor, Joe Biden, is under constant criticism from the Republican opposition, which accuses it of turning the border with Mexico into a “colander.”
Although the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday that the number of people trying to illegally cross Mexico’s U.S. border has dropped since new immigration rules went into effect last week, the number of immigrants in CBP custody has topped 28,000. days ago, exceeded their capacity.
