From the link above: "Food and water are typically provided to migrants in Border Patrol custody, and it wasn’t immediately clear Thursday if the girl received provisions and a medical exam before the onset of seizures." 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I'm interested in learning more about this. But, I have to think that the girl was already over heated and dehydrated when the border patrol found her. It's a horrible situation and I feel very sorry for the girl and her family. But, it sure seems to me that it's possible the border patrol is put in a very difficult situation here that makes them look bad. 1 Link to comment

So what was CBP doing during the 8 hours they were detaining her and her father? Were they checking on the condition of the detainees and seeing to their needs? Because once you've detained someone, you're responsible for their well-being. CBP might have done all the right things, but I want to see an investigation to determine what went wrong and what could be done to prevent this. 1 1 Link to comment
