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.”

Of course, it’ll be spun to be as if DJT killed her himself personally.
Well, she crossed the border illegally with her daddy or whoever the hell that smuggler was..so not our problem
Should have crossed at a border point instead of a desert .... should charge her parents with manslaughter.
Kid was most likely comatose when father was arrested. She got care. Nurses and docs can only do so much
This poor girl died from some liberal nut forcing her family over the border.
Time for this to stop.
The “ father” dragged that little girl through the desert as a ticket to the US
No one in their right mind gives a child no liquid for days
Hyperthermia is a killer along with dehydration
Very hard to reverse once it sets in
REGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL!
Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi are vile, disgusting and inhumane.
Regressives support those allies who hurt little girls.
Blame her parents that brought into Mexico
Hey Nancy, this is why NOT having the wall is immoral.
That is not the BP fault.
100% of the blame lies with the parents, period.
If her cretin parents hadn’t tried to commit a crime by entering the U.S. illegally, she probably wouldn’t have died. I heard on ABC radio they are already criticizing the U.S. detention facilities for the kid’s death. That’s a semi-truck load of complete hooey. Her death was directly due to her irresponsible looking-for-gibsmedats-goodies parents.
Yup

MORE BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT LIVES SNUFFED OUT

FREE STUFF IN EXCHANGE FOR MORE
POWER. SOUND FAMILIAR?
I’m very sad for the girl. Poor child, but her suffering is over. I can’t imagine the hard heartedness of a “father” to force her through that.
