(CNN)A 7-year-old Guatemalan girl died last week, hours after she was taken into Border Patrol custody, the Department of Homeland Security said.

The Washington Post first reported Thursday that the girl died of dehydration and septic shock last week in El Paso, Texas after she was taken into custody by Border Patrol after crossing illegally with her father into the United States.

"Our sincerest condolences go out to the family of the child," the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Border Patrol, said in a statement.

"Border Patrol agents took every possible step to save the child's life under the most trying of circumstances. As fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, we empathize with the loss of any child."

2. To Die of dehydration takes AT LEAST a week.

Septic Shock means (more than likley) that there was something else wrong with her, that PROPER monitoring and care would have prevented.

I'll take charges. We have an IMPARTIAL justice system because I WANT blood for this.

A seven year old child. Christ.

6. Ridiculous. We need to open the border and let all of these people in.
