    Trump is also wrong here. The father of the "young girl," whose name was Jakelin Caal, has vehemently denied that he didn't give his daughter water. He says he made sure she was fed & had water.

    ...children in question were very sick before they were given over to Border Patrol. The father of the young girl said it was not their fault, he hadn’t given her water in days. Border Patrol needs the Wall and it will all end. They are working so hard & getting so little credit!
