Father says migrant child who died was not sick before detention

The father of an 8-year-old Guatemalan boy who died in U.S. custody this week says that his son was not sick before they were detained at the border.

Agustin Gomez said his son was not sick when they were detained on Dec. 18, the Guatemalan consul in Phoenix told The Associated Press.

Gomez told the consul the boy showed no symptoms before falling sick on Dec. 24.

Gomez’s son, Felipe Gomez Alonzo, has been identified as the young boy who died in Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody on Christmas. Felipe is the second migrant child to die in U.S. custody this month.

now I need my Just thinking that the whole "death in custody" thing was not an accident and they could be seeing how much outrage would *really* happen, like if there was a fire or a bus of them going off a cliff...

now my mind just jumped to "bio warfare testing" and "this is how the Zombie Apocalypse starts"

God, is this Dystopia yet?

I think I need a drink...or toke... talk myself down...
