WASHINGTON, Dec 14, 2018 ,, A seven-year-old Guatemalan girl died in American custody after being detained by US border police in the state of New Mexico, The Washington Post reported on Thursday.
The girl — who illegally crossed the border from Mexico along with her father and dozens of others — died of “dehydration and shock,” the newspaper reported, citing the US Customs and Border Protection.
The child — whom CBP said “reportedly had not eaten or consumed water for several days” — began having seizures over eight hours after being detained, was flown to a hospital and died there, the Post said.
Donald Trump has made hard-line immigration policies a central plank of his presidency, drawing fire from critics who accuse him of demonizing migrants for political gain.
He vowed to build a wall on the border with Mexico, deployed thousands of US troops there and separated more than 2,000 migrant children from their parents as part of a “zero tolerance” policy on illegal immigration.
