A little girl died after being taken in by authorities not long ago, and now we hear about another child who died after being taken into custody. Right on cue, Democrats are declaring it was the fault of the Trump administration. Here's this from nbcnews.com: Guatemalan boy, 8, dies in immigration custody after being diagnosed with a cold. Here are a few quotes from the article:
"The Administration’s policy of turning people away from legal ports of entry, otherwise known as metering, is putting families and children in great danger," [Joaquin] Castro said in a statement. ...
The American Civil Liberties Union said in a tweet Tuesday that the boy's death was "a horrific tragedy" and that CBP should be held accountable. The group called for the incoming Congress to investigate the Department of Homeland Security, which includes CBP.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., called the boy's death "deplorable." "What happened to 'One death is too many,' @SecNielsen? " she said, quoting Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee last week following Jakelin's death.
