USA TODAYA 6-month-old girl is in critical condition after being detained along with a group of 21 migrants along the southern border, according to a statement released Saturday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Medical staff at the Rio Grande Valley Sector's Central Processing Center determined the child needed to be taken to a hospital. She was taken first to a local children's hospital with her father, and then by helicopter to Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the young girl and her father during this difficult time," CPB said in a statement.Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced it was taking steps that would allow it to indefinitely detain undocumented children with their families while their immigration cases were pending.

oliviarsanchez great propaganda piece. like the way you blame the U.S. instead of the parents for cheating and risking their childs health. time to shut down all immigration until all 30 million cheaters are run out of the country
Her 'alleged' parents smuggle an obviously sick child into the USA - while exposing others to whatever possible contagious illness the child may have! The 'parental' adults should be charged with child and public endangerment - and their request for possible citizenship denied!
So these fuckers get free health care? But we the American people have to pay for it? WTF
Makes we wonder if people in Mexico are getting pregnant just so they can hop a fence and become wards of the country. Free stuff this way -----
Trump and Miller have the blood of innocent people on their hands, Racist bigotry along the lines of Adolph Hitler and his fellow Germans. Brown people held in concentration camps, a crime against humanity, “As a man thinketh, so is he,” this hideous blight on the Presidency.
look at all the little ones put in peril through illegal border crossings.. the parents who do this should be charged. it is child endangerment.
May she receive the treatment and help she needs. Amen.
