Mother Whose Child Died After ICE Detention Sues for $60 Million
New York Times ^ | November 28, 2018 | Liam Stack

Mariee Juárez seemed to be in perfect health when she and her mother were detained after they illegally crossed the United States border in March.

But when they were released from custody three weeks later, the child had a severe infection that would lead to her death less than two months later. She was 20 months old.

On Tuesday, her mother, Yazmin Juárez, 21, filed a legal claim against the United States government seeking $60 million for the child’s wrongful death.

Ms. Juárez alleges neglect at the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which she said provided “inadequate, substandard medical care” to her daughter at the “unsafe and unsanitary” South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Tex., according to the complaint.

“The United States government puts small children in jail to achieve a policy objective of ending unlawful immigration, and that has consequences,” said R. Stanton Jones, a lawyer for Ms. Juárez, who declined to comment. “A lot of people for a long time have believed one of the consequences of this family detention policy would be the death of a child, and that is what happened here.”

Mr. Jones said Ms. Juárez and her daughter were detained by Border Patrol agents almost immediately after they crossed the Rio Grande on a raft in March. They were held at a Customs and Border Protection processing center in McAllen, Tex., for three or four days, he said, where they slept on the floor of a locked cage with over two dozen other people, before being transferred to the facility in Dilley.

According to the complaint, Ms. Juárez said her daughter was in good health when they left McAllen but fell ill soon after they arrived in Dilley, where they were held in a room with 10 other people

It's too bad her daughter died, but it's her mother's fault for breaking into our country illegally and using her daughter as a human shield.

Autopsy will probably show she was poisoned... probably not even her daughter

I doubt it. Having lots of little kids in the same place, as in daycare centers, is a recipe for spreading infectious diseases. But it's her mother who chose that for her daughter by coming illegally.

I wonder who the families of all the people beaten, raped and killed by coyotes or who died just crossing the desert are going to sue.

Yeah, and it’s not like the caravan’s aren’t breeding grounds. The girl could have been exposed on the way here.

There's tons of shady lawyers on the American side of the border just laying in wait to pick off disgruntled incoming invasion clients.

They hope to reap big settlements on any kind of charge they can dream up for a law suit while representing these aliens.

Our courts will be overburdened forever, and the cost to we the taxpayers will be enormous.

These legal shysters are so crooked that ambulances chase THEM !

Last week a young woman trying to climb the wall near San Diego fell and got hurt. She was treated by American EMTs and taken to a hospital on the American side. She is probably an automatic citizen and her lawsuit will be forthcoming.

Ka-ching! Another one wins the lottery! Just by the way, life is dirt cheap and highly expendable down there. The old lady will crank out a replacement in no time.

That’s true. After “the brokers dumped tier fuel” in it. It’s surprising more aren’t sick.

(not sure if you saw that article)

Just another parasite looking for a payday. She has no case as nobody could possibly determine from which side of the border the child was infected.

I just read an article that stated
1/3 of the horde has some sort of
ailment. Proving where her daughter
contracted hers’ will be difficult.
I’m sure CDC will be called in to
inspect the facility.

Comes across illegally with a sick child. Blames US for death. Profit.
