The father of a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl who died after being detained by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) said he has "no complaints about how Border Patrol agents treated him and his daughter," Guatemalan Consul Tekandi Paniagua told CNN on Saturday.
The consul said the father, Nery Gilberto Caal, told him agents did everything they possibly could to help his daughter, Jakelin Caal Maquin, after she became sick on a a bus. The bus traveled from the Antelope Wells port of entry in New Mexico to a Border Patrol station in Lordsburg, New Mexico, about 90 minutes away.
She died December 8 in a hospital in El Paso, Texas, authorities said. The cause of death has not been determined.

Something fishy there.
He will as soon as the lawyers give him a $$$$ amount that he can go home with.
...Because of extreme poverty, Caal headed to the United States, taking Jakelin with him and leaving the rest of the family behind, Garcia said.
Garcia said the father and daughter were not part of the well-publicized migrant caravan that traveled to the US border. They traveled by bus most of the way, he said.
When asked what he’d say to people who criticize the father for endangering his child, Garcia said the family lived in extreme poverty.
Until Nancy and the Dems get hold of him than look out
Why is he here?
When you ‘are in extreme poverty’-—YOU DO NOT KEEP HAVING KIDS>
Maybe his daughter was sick for a long time and he was hoping that she might get treatment in US.
Yeah, he must not have been informed yet about how he can get paid off and win the lawsuit lottery, regardless of the facts.
For some reason my give a damn is busted.
He really is not from around here.
Any bottom dweller from the local ghettos would know to cry “oppression” and “Brutality” at the first drop of a hat.
Poor girl had not had food or water for days. Dad should tried for manslaughter.
Build the wall. Then they would know they won’t get in and will quit risking their children’s lives.
I know you are making a suggestion to his family, but the opposite is in fact true. Our lack of fertility is mostly due to wealth. In the developing world, in general the greater the poverty, the higher the birtthrate.
I HAVE COMPLAINTS about HIS treatement...such as why is he not in JAIL for child endangerment and manslaughter?
It’s only the America-hating ‘RAT politicians and college kiddie snowflakes who are upset. I don’t know why. She’ll still be able to vote.
“Jakelin’s father took care of Jakelin — made sure she was fed and had sufficient water,” the statement said. “She had not suffered from a lack of water or food prior to approaching the border.”
if he took care of her, she wouldn’t be dead. Maybe it was vampires. Or maybe the entire group were drug mules and she died from fentanyl or flaka contamination. The father denies they were wandering in the desert for four days - which implies they had some sort of transportation.
He should be arrested and charged with murder.
“The cause of death has not been determined.”
There’s a possibility that she wasn’t given food or drink on the way because her gut was full of condoms loaded with cocaine. It could happen.
that is what I suspect
