Migrant caravan: Guatemalan girl dies in custody of U.S. Border Patrol
Dennis Wagner Arizona Republic Published 11:05 PM EST Dec 14, 2018 One week after a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl died in the custody of U.S. Border Patrol agents, the Department of Homeland Security began disclosing details of the event — after it was made public by the Washington Post. Conflicting accounts of the child's crossing emerged after the news broke.

Senior House Democrats sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security watchdog requesting an investigation into the death of a 7 year-old migrant girl while she was in the custody of Customs and Border Patrol. Citing "the seriousness of this tragedy" and remaining questions about the girl's death just over a week ago, Democratic lawmakers asked the acting inspector general for DHS to "initiate an investigation into this incident, as well as CBP policies or practices that may have contributed to the child's death." House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, the leading signer of the letter continued, "The investigation should also examine the appropriateness of holding children in Border Patrol stations, which were never designed to hold children."The letter also called for an investigation into CBP's failure to notify Congress of the situation until the week after the girl's death.The girl, identified by the Guatemalan government as Jackeline Caal, and her father … [Read more...] about House Democrats send letter to DHS IG demanding answers about death of 7 year-old migrant girl
