7-year-old immigrant died in the center of illegal immigrants immediately after her arrest

The 7-year-old girl, who last week crossed the Mexican-American border with her father, died after she was taken into custody by a US border patrol.

The girl died of dehydration and shock about eight hours after she was arrested by agents near Lordsburg, New Mexico. The deceased was a citizen of Guatemala and traveled with a group of 163 people who on December 6 came to US border agents to surrender, reports USA Today.

It is not known what happened to the girl for eight hours before her convulsions began and she was taken to El Paso hospital.

A statement from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service said that the girl did not eat or drink water for several days.

The Department of Homeland Security, in a statement late Dec. 13, expressed its "sincere condolences" to the child's family and said Border Patrol agents "did everything possible to save the child's life under the most difficult circumstances."

“As we have always said, illegal travel is extremely dangerous. Drug cartels and smugglers pose a deadly risk to anyone crossing the border illegally. The Border Patrol always cares about those in its custody and does everything possible to ensure their safety. Every year, the Border Patrol rescues hundreds of people who cross into the United States between ports of entry,” the statement said.

“Unfortunately, despite our best efforts and the efforts of the medical team treating the child, we were unable to prevent this tragedy. We again ask parents not to put themselves or their children at risk by attempting to enter the United States illegally. Please use ports of entry and endeavor to enter the United States lawfully and safely,” the Department of Homeland Security said.

The girl’s death raises questions about whether the border agents knew that she was unwell and that she was given food and water for more than eight hours while she was detained.

Immigrants, lawyers and community activists have long raised questions about the conditions of detention of people detained by border patrols. According to a lawsuit, in Tucson, illegal immigration chambers are dirty and extremely cold, and in addition, detainees lack basic necessities, in particular, they lack blankets.

The Border Patrol has seen an increasing trend of large groups of immigrants, including small children, approaching agents and surrendering. Most are from Central American countries and say they are fleeing violence in their home countries. They surrender in hopes of obtaining asylum in the United States.

The arrest of such groups creates logistical problems for agents who have to wait for the arrival of transport vans equipped with child seats in order to deliver them to detention centers. In addition, children need special accommodation conditions, which is also not always provided for in illegal detention centers.
