        Yup. 2000 miles walking without a plan for food and water. Negligence.

        Yeah, they should've dragged a fridge with it's own power source before leaving Honduras. Filled with energy bars and Gatorade.

        Yeah, it's kind of a big deal to go on a 2000 mile hike. Especially where large portions of it are thru a desert. Maybe someone should have told them.

        Here's a little detail that you're conveniently ignoring tho... the child did NOT die while she was on her way to the US. Not even when she was traveling through a drug cartel infested trade routes in Mexico. The child died while she was in US custody. While being detained here

        She was dying of dehydration and starvation when she was detained. She wasn't starved and deprived by CBP. They were the ones who airlifted her to a hospital. It is morally backward to hold CBP responsible for the days and weeks of malnourishment that led to her death.

        Once they were in custody, the father approached and told them she was really sick and throwing up, they didn't get her help for an hour and a half. If they had moved quickly she would have survived.

        An hour and a half *is* quickly when you are talking about the region they were in. It takes days to get to the condition she was in. Her parents took her on a treacherous journey without a plan. Tragic but not CBP's fault.

        Yes, but an hour and a half of fluids/IV could have saved her, that was their failure. A small child throwing up can dehydrate really quickly, they should know that. She had all the signs, some simple questions would have told them that.

        I live in a border state & I will debate the nightmare the previous 3 WHs created all day long. People die everyday trying to migrate 🤬There’s no way on earth we can SAFELY house and process groups the size of small towns. Dying while trying is likely. Northern Mex is a desert.

        After crossing a flipping desert. Being “in custody” does not magically fix any problems she might have had or developed while CROSSING A DESERT.

        If that little girl’s family were applying for refugee status, she was entitled to the exact same medical care as your own children. Being the victim of persecution and being forced to flee are not crimes. Denying care to a refugee is.pic.twitter.com/Wg5kgEfYgq

        She was offered food and water when taken into custody with over 100 other people. Her father signed a statement saying she was in “good health”. When she show symptoms she was airlifted to a hospital. Nothing was denied, every effort was made to save her.

        Nice story. Doesn’t match the facts. She was vomiting for 90 mins before authorities - who knew this - took any steps to help her.

        She started vomiting on the bus ride to the CPB facility. Just prior to being transported her father signed a health voucher saying she had no immediate health issues they need to know about. When the bus arrived she was immediately assisted.

        Hey Geno. Can you use your medical training to explain how long it takes to dehydrate someone to the point of death in 8 hours?

        No, but I can explain the process of giving a child some basic necessities within 8 hours to prevent a tragedy like this from happening.

        The father denied her being sick at first. Later he came and told them she was sick. You have 167 people being detained. As soon as the patrol came I would have ran to them to take her first. The dad didn’t do that.
