HOUSTON (AP) — The U.S. government says a 16-year-old Guatemalan died Monday at a Border Patrol station in South Texas, the fifth death of a migrant child apprehended by border agents since December.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection identified the teenager as Carlos Gregorio Hernandez Vasquez. CBP said the Border Patrol apprehended the teenager in South Texas' Rio Grande Valley on May 13. He was found to be unresponsive during a welfare check Monday morning.

He was prescribed the medicine Tamiflu, then transferred later Sunday to the Border Patrol station at Weslaco, Texas, to prevent his flu from spreading to other detainees. He was not hospitalized. On April 30, a 16-year-old Guatemalan boy died after officials at an HHS detention facility noticed that he was sick. He was hospitalized in intensive care for several days before his death.

How many times since yesterday are you going to post this? I know, its Trumps fault right? Well once again, that's a shame. But im sure our Boarder agents did all they could to help. Just like the ones before. Its to tough of a journey for children. A chance their parents take.

It's almost like they came to the US sick or something.

Their parents or traffickers need to stop endangering these childrens lives!!!
