The father of a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl who died after being detained by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) said he has "no complaints about how Border Patrol agents treated him and his daughter," Guatemalan Consul Tekandi Paniagua told CNN on Saturday.

...

Caal did not speak to the media Saturday, but in a statement issued by his lawyers, he said he was "grateful for the many first responders that tried to save young Jakelin's life in New Mexico and Texas."

...

Garcia said the father and daughter were not part of the well-publicized migrant caravan that traveled to the US border. They traveled by bus most of the way, he said.

Just saw a special last night where a woman arrived to the CBP to get that woman and her two kids in line for asylum application and the CBP guy told her and the two congressmen that they were already at capacity. They demanded to be allowed to go inside to see if they were telling the truth, and the CBP guy said he would return shortly to allow them in, but he just disappeared and never returned.

This kid should have been removed from the custody of an irresponsible parent months ago. Bigger Ugh

The CDC also confirms that vaccinations are provided to all children who do not have valid documentation.

According to the AP:

"The boy was was diagnosed with a cold and fever and given prescriptions for amoxicillin and Ibuprofen and released from a hospital Monday afternoon. He returned Monday evening with nausea and vomiting and died hours later."

This makes no sense to me. If he is diagnosed with the flu then antibiotics make it worse. A cold, or the flu, is a virus and a prescription for amoxicillin will only make things worse. You don't have to be a doctor to know this. At the very least it seems he was misdiagnosed with a bacterial infection and he had the flu, in which case he should have been put on anti-virals.
