That's malpractice," said Gutierrez, who has helped treat families received by Annunciation House, a nonprofit that runs temporary residential centers that receives migrants released by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement or US Customs and Border Protection.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has long had an opinion that"children should not be in detention centers," pediatrician De la Rosa said on Tuesday."These are not little adults," he said, adding that children need a trained eye to handle their medical conditions."This is life and death," Ayoub-Rodriguez said.CNN's Bob Ortega, Priscilla Alvarez, Nick Valencia, Eliott C.
