A 7-year-old girl from Guatemala died of dehydration and shock after she was taken into Border Patrol custody last week for crossing from Mexico into the United States illegally with her father and a large group of migrants along a remote span of New Mexico desert, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Thursday.
The child’s death is likely to intensify scrutiny of detention conditions at Border Patrol stations and CBP facilities that are increasingly overwhelmed by large numbers of families seeking asylum in the United States.
According to CBP records, the girl and her father were taken into custody about 10 p.m. Dec. 6 south of Lordsburg, N.M., as part of a group of 163 people who approached U.S. agents to turn themselves in.
More than eight hours later, the child began having seizures at 6:25 a.m., CBP records show. Emergency responders, who arrived soon after, measured her body temperature at 105.7 degrees, and according to a statement from CBP, she “reportedly had not eaten or consumed water for several days.”

Logically this should strengthen Trumps argument to denture people from doing stupid things.
Agree 100%. Not even DU would post something so vile.
she “reportedly had not eaten or consumed water for several days.”
She died due to the DNC encouraging that her desert crossing would be fruitful.
She’d be alive if she weren’t forcibly removed from her home in Guatemala. RIP.
Unfortunately, this happens all too often. The desert is a hard place to be any time of the year. More often than not, the BP rescues them, they save many lives.
What a dumbass, retarded Guatemalan does with his daughter is none of our business. Take it up with the Guatemalan government.
Correct!!
That is what a responsible parent would do, but under the present sick Mafia Media they will blame her death on our elected President. A good parent would never have taken the girl on this dangerous trip, but these alien invaders will not be held accountable like an American would be.
children are just pawns...poor little ones.....they have no say in any of this....
Hundreds of children die every day.
Could easily have been sepsis.
My guess is hypothermia. It’s not hot
in Las Cruses this time of year. Mid
50’s for a high, mid 30’s night time
temps. The poor girl probably had
pneumonia. Dad should be staked naked
on an ant bed.
Las Cruses is 690 miles from Tijuana,
which tells me this group was probably
not from the caravan.
The father should be prosecuted for felony child abuse & reckless manslaughter and then be deported as a convicted felon.
Why do invading illegal aliens (and would be leeches on taxpayers) get away with recklessly leading children on such a perilous journeys through a vast scorching & waterless wasteland?
Hyperthermia
Article said kids internal temp at death was over 105 degrees and she was only at BPS for 8 hours
Unless she died from flu or a virus
My guess is she was unconscious and they thought she was sleeping because he indicated no physical distress
If that male adult with her...and the other adults...had no water for 2 days it would have been the first thing HE/ THEY asked for....think about that
Goof on the spelling there, my apologies.
Agreed, as to her symptoms. She didn’t
die from the heat.
