House lawmakers hear emotional testimony from migrant mother whose daughter died after ICE detention

House lawmakers on Wednesday heard emotional testimony from a Guatemalan woman seeking asylum in the United States whose two-year-old daughter contracted a lung infection while at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Texas and died shortly after their release.

Yazmin Juárez, who is suing the federal government over her daughter Mariee’s death, detailed for the House Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties the treatment she received from immigration officials at the detention center. She blamed improper medical care, “terrible and inadequate” living conditions and a culture of neglect at the migrant holding facilities along the border for her daughter’s death.

“We came to the U.S. in the hope of finding a better life for us,” Juárez said through a translator. “Unfortunately that did not happen. Instead my baby girl died slowly and painfully just months before her third birthday.”

Juárez added: “I am here today because the world needs to know what is going on in ICE detention centers.”

Terrible.

But all the sick people who are coming here were already sick, when they came.

It is not reasonable to blame their death on the US.

This is just out of control. Don’t bring your sick child on a walk across Mexico and then sue the US. Out of control

A class act, all made up and broken up over her daughter's untimely demise.

Was the ILLEGAL ALIEN Guatemalan mother forced to illegally enter the United States?

If not, then screw off.
Go sue CatholicCharities/LutheranInsanities, Soros/Koch/Obama/Bush NWO.

If she had stayed in her own country instead of dragging her kid up here, the kid would still be alive. The mother is responsible for her daughter’s death, not ICE or anyone else.
