      I will never forgive or forget that a 7 year old girl died of thirst, shock, and exhaustion in the custody of American law enforcement. It is a gross human rights violation. A form of genocide. The basic compassion & dignity she deserved has been removed by this government.

      Her name is Jakelin. Her full name is: Jakelin Amei Rosmery Caal Maquin. She was a 7 year old girl from rural Guatemala and she died of thirst and shock in American custody. This is a sin. It’s a crime and a sin. Shame on Trump and this bigoted cold hearted government.

          Read this. America is not living up to its core promise. The words on our Statue of Liberty describe 7 year old Jakelin so well. She was tired and poor and yearning to breathe free. She was homeless and needed refuge. And our government let her die of thirst and shock.pic.twitter.com/AyUNz4xvzt

          Illegally being smuggled by a cartel into the US to sell into slavery. Not given proper nutrition by her smugglers. You blame Trump. You had the opportunity to be a great advocate for many causes and your arrogance and hate consumed you. You are your own demise.

          Thank you. I can’t bear to see my aggrieved fellow humans pass away nameless. What is a now a news story was once a living breathing innocent child. I do not wish to forget and knowing her name helps.

          Shame on those who are using the death of this precious child to politicize the situation. Her father is the one responsible for his daughter's health and safety.
