8-year-old Guatemalan boy dies in Border Patrol custody
Another migrant child has died in Border Patrol custody, this time an 8-year-old Guatemalan boy.
The unidentified boy died early Tuesday, Christmas Day, at the Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center in Alamogordo, New Mexico, Customs and Border Protection told the San Antonio Express News.
A Border Patrol agent reportedly noticed the sick child Monday and transferred him and his father to the hospital, where the boy was diagnosed with a cold.
He was held for 90 more minutes with a fever, then released Monday afternoon with prescriptions for amoxicillin and Ibuprofen.
The boy died just after midnight.
