Girl, 8, dies in Biden custody at southern border: Officials.

Tragic Death of Young Girl in U.S. Custody on Southern Border

Heartbreaking news emerged this week as an eight-year-old girl passed away while in U.S. Border Patrol custody in Harlingen, Texas. The child and her family were in custody at the Harlingen Station when she experienced a medical emergency. Despite the efforts of Emergency Medical Services, she was pronounced dead at the local hospital.

Investigation Launched

The Office of Professional Responsibility has launched an investigation into the incident, and officials have alerted the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General and the Harlingen Police Department. This tragedy comes just a week after a 17-year-old minor from Honduras died in Biden administration custody.

Missed Medical Information

The deceased minor, Ángel Eduardo Maradiaga Espinoza, reportedly had epilepsy, but staff at the facility where he was being held were unaware of his condition. Despite an email from his cousin informing them of his epilepsy, a case manager missed the information when viewing his medical history. Espinoza did not tell anyone about his condition and did not have any medication with him, further keeping staff in the dark.

Addressing the Immigration Crisis

The Biden administration is facing criticism over its policies, which some say have sparked the illegal immigration crisis. As the administration grapples with this issue, it is crucial that measures are put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of those in custody.
