in U.S. Border Patrol custody last week requested medical aid at least three times the day her sick daughter was pronounced dead at a Texas hospital, government officials said Sunday.
Representatives for CBP did not answer several questions about how the family was processed, including the reason for their prolonged detention. CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility, which issued Sunday's statement, is investigating the girl's death. According to the statement, Reyes Alvarez, her family and dozens of other migrants were apprehended by Border Patrol agents near Brownsville, Texas, on the night of May 9. The family was initially taken to an outdoors processing area, where they spent the night before being transported to a tent holding facility in Donna, Texas, the following day, officials said.
According to CBP, the situation deteriorated on May 17."At this time, CBP can confirm that medical records documented that the eight-year-old girl and her mother came to the medical unit at least three times on Wednesday, May 17, 2023," the agency said. "Initial findings from the autopsy, which were shared with CBP OPR, indicated an absence of gross physical trauma, the presence of pleural effusions within the chest cavity, mentioned evidence that had been observed of the attempted surgical repair of the girl's aortic stenosis, and also referenced the provided history of sickle cell anemia," CBP said.
