An 8-year-old girl died in the custody of U.S. Border Patrol on Wednesday, according to officials, as the agency deals with overcrowding in facilities near the southern border.

The girl and her family were in custody at Harlingen Station in Harlingen, Texas, when she experienced a “medical emergency” Wednesday, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement. First responders were called to the scene and transported the girl to a local hospital, where she later died.

Five to ten million illegal invaders and leave it to the liberal press to find the two who have died.

At least she had a family. The questions might be....was she sick when she left home?? And what did she die of?

If this happened under Trump, there would be wall-to-wall hysteria 24/7.

It would not surprise me if they bring seriously sick kids to the border for:
A: Free Healthcare.
B: If they die, Political Gain.

She would still be alive if her parents had not brought her illegally into the US. They’re fault 100%. Let this be a warning to others contemplating illegally entering the US.
