The boy was apprehended and processed near Hidalgo, Texas, on May 13 before being transferred to the Weslaco Border Patrol Station Sunday, the agency said in a statement. He was found unresponsive Monday morning. The cause of death is unknown, the agency said."The men and women of US Customs and Border Protection are saddened by the tragic loss of this young man and our condolences are with his family," said Acting Commissioner John Sanders in a statement.
Weeks later, 8-year-old Felipe Gómez Alonzo died of flu complicated by sepsis while in Customs and Border Protection custody.Late last month, 16-year-old Juan de León Gutiérrez died in a Texas children's hospital days after arriving at an Office of Refugee Resettlement shelter.
Americas shame
Patrici20494217 WHY....!!!!!!
What is wrong with these people sending their children across the country these parents should be arrested
A wall would have kept him out and he would have went home. Or even better, never came in the first place.
He would be alive if he stayed in Guatemala .
Parents and Congress should be held accountable. Years of border security and immigration policy failure.
deport their family members
Gee, I wonder if these illnesses have anything to do with putting kids in “iceboxes” with only a Mylar sheet to keep warm? Getting chilled lowers the immunity of already stressed children.
So the story really is that a boy was treated by medical professionals for influenza-a and was found unresponsive and died later. Yes, it's sad. Does CNN know if the people he was being held with were treated too? (I bet they were.... where's that part of the story?)
This is very disappointing for superpower country like US,something must be done
Must be Trumps fault right
Are they not giveing them a Medical physical when they come in
Then don’t come! It’s their fault for making this long journey without nourishment for the little ones that’s not parenting that’s abuse making the kids travel on foot that’s neglecting your role as responsible parents! Bad parental decisions! Thinking child automatic green card!
There are risks involved in illegally crossing
Congress’s fault.
Not good enough.
Stay home
Shouldnt have crossed the border...
Shouldn’t have crossed, cure has consequences
Protip: cross the border through the gate. It’s a lot safer.
The white liberal media Washington Pravda and New York Pravda are busy over Trump. They ignore the crimes that the USA is guilty of and like stupid sheep they are being drawn to another war.
You infer it is our government's fault... but then CNN = FAKE NEWS ALWAYS!
Poor teen. God bless him.
That's not our fault. He had the flu and was treated for it.
CNN's tweet clearly implies this is the US fault. The boy was seen by a nurse practitioner & given Tamaflu. A welfare check was conducted prior to transport and the boy was found unresponsive, while in the company of others being held. How many homeless in US are left to die?
In the U.S.the Parents would be held responsible. If your a illegal it’s the Governments fault
So you all would rather blame the innocent children for bringing their (speculative) illness here and not the US Government for this travesty? Locking up and separating kids, many are here to escape violence in their own country? What am I not understanding here? Sickening...
5? That's pretty good. Considering the people try to sneak in with kids who are already sick. And 5 is a lot less than are dying in their home countries. I know you think this should spark outrage, but it'll only work among retards on the left who are always outraged anyway.
Intentionally misleading headline. CNN... the pretender of news.
Hundreds of thousands this year alone have raided our border. Surprising not more have died maybe search the Mexican desert.
Where is the UN? We have a humanitarian crisis on our hands.
Shame on all of us.
only 5？stop rushing for the border. stay put in your countries like i do. problem solved.
🙏🙏🙏 Bless His Soul , confirms Crisis
What's going on!. Why only kids from Guatemala dying in our custody.
maybe they will stop coming? we can't everything to everyone...ONLY CNN FAKENEWSCNN
he shouldn't have been crossing the border by himself-surprised there aren't many more deaths so I guess we are doing a good job
He was sick already or the 1000 mile journey was too much for him. Shame on his parents for not helping him.
F*cking disgraceful
😥
FakeNewsCNN making it sound like it is the fault of BP and our gov’t. How do you know he wasn’t sick before he made the trek? Maybe the trip is what did him in. Time to secure the border and remove the incentives.
How did he die?
He’s responsible for his own death
Illegal immigrant that violated the law
Yet they keep coming here trying to get a free ride.
These immigrants are all coming here with diseases that the United States eradicated years ago through immunization!
I ask how many more kids need to die in US government hands for the international court do something about it?. This are crimes against humanity and that doesn't supposedly be happening in the USA. Shame on those that allow this to happen. Shame
...he didn't have a way to send his resume to mar del tacky. realDonaldTrump
Murder
Try to tell the whole story and not censored stuff like this. Trying to blame the authorities and not the scum that is bringing them over the border is not how real news works. Hence the Fake News label.
Can someone please ask CNN to fix the headline It should be something like this: A child of Stupid people who dragged him thousands of miles through horrid conditions, including heat, disease, and human traffickers, dies in spite of medical assistance in the US.
The U S Border Patrol are NT CAUSING these DEATHS, STOP with your misleading headlines !
Unacceptable. The real crisis at the border is the US's failure to treat these people and especially the children as human beings. I'm ashamed to be American. This is not who we are supposed to be.
Those illegals will be spreading diseases across America.
That’s what happens when you break the law and put the health of your cold at extreme risk. Terrible
Gues they should stop 🛑 coming stay home and fix their country ! USA owes them nothing . And you are welcome for supporting you and giving you room n board .
Don’t care. YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THE WOMEN BEING ASSAULTED & RAPED!! Why should we GAS about someone YOU’RE USING to tear down the POTUS who is trying to stop the violence with common sense immigration policies You, CNN, are a f’ckng FRAUD !!
The children need to be examined more closely by medical personnel before they are cleared for admission.
A 16-year-old Guatemalan boy has died in US government custody, Have his parents been notified? Will his body be returned to them? Was autopsy done as required by law? If not seen by Dr in 30 days.
Sadly if they didn’t come here illegally they wouldn’t die after such a horrific journey
Unfortunate, ask Pelosi and Schumer is there a cirisis in the border. Send the kids are sent to Pelosi's San Francisco area or Schumer's Brooklyn neighborhood, hipocrisy. CNN and its sensationalized news, lack of journalism-shameful
How many kids die every day for various reasons around the country? Do you report on all of them? Or do they not fit your agenda?
CNN NEVER REPORTS ALL THE AMERICAN CHILDREN THAT ARE MURDERED AND RAPED BY THESE ILLEGAL ALIENS. CNN doesn’t blame the illegals for coming to this country illegally & putting their live at risk,it’s always President Trump who is the problem.The American People know better!!
What a Determined young immigrant prospect!We need people that would give their lives to be an American!...Seems the only true non-Discriminating American free Zone is on the War Firing Line!When you are true American Brothers & Sisters! No matter your past Heritage?Trump Iks me!
Tell them to stop coming!
These teens come walking all the way from Guatemala. Bad nutrition, no parental supervision! What you expect?
But, privileged 'woke' 'Progressives' have been so, like totally, inspired to march 'n protest. They wouldn't have looked anywhere near so hipster if HillaryClinton was POTUS. 🤨
Why are these migrants being encouraged by the Democrats & Rinos to take the horrific journey to get to US border. This journey can take their life & they need 2 not B encouraged. It needs 2 stop & be done the better and safe way-that is ---- Legally, so their lives are not lost
He should have stayed home..
Odd the outrage over illegals death but Democrats are ok with murdering babies..hypocrisy much?
TRUMP MUST BE CHARGED WITH MURDER WHAT HE HAS DONE AT THE BOARDER IS INHUMANE HE HAS CAUSED THE DEATH OF CHILDREN THIS CANT BE ALLOWED IN AMERICA SOMEONE HAS TO PAY ITS TIME FOR HIM TO RESIGN
Well, maybe that will spur Congress to act. Don't worry they won't. They have better things to do apparently.
tRump and his zero tolerance and zero plan are now guilty of manslaughter, 5 counts LOCKTRUMPUP 25thammendment hangtrump4treason
Hey CNN, Maybe your friends should stop inciting these people into leaving their homes and dragging these children across a continent that is mostly desert to illegally invade America.. That would be the best thing for all involved.. DNA is killing your narrative. 30% not related
Parents should be charged with negligible homicide. Such a shame when dems care more about illegal immigrant lives than American children being killed in the womb by their own mothers.
Our government is disgraceful our leaders all war criminals..... Im broken hearted disgusted and no longer wish to be an American...
BLAME TRUMP!!!! I DON’T KNOW WHY, BUT BLAME HIM!!!!!!!
Outrage!!!
So much for the bogus sanctity of life...
Does CNN knows how many American parents have lost children? In Chicago alone, 22 children have been killed in drive by shootings. You’ll never hear or see their names on CNN. America children lives matter too.
Stay in Guatemala! Or come legally! Nice headline, 16 year old boy? Those are the ones in the gangs!
Staying in Guatemala may have been a better choice. Or u can blame it on u know who. I wonder what u will choose. Hmmmmmmmmm I wonder. Congrats again on a ground breaking story. No one else is like u guys. Thank God.
Lesson learned - don’t cross the border ILLEGALLY
Oh Dear 😫😢 Not another child!
When I hear of the deaths of these children, I can't help but think that Trump's only response, whether to himself or spoken in private, would be, 'then they and their parents shouldn't have come here in the first place.' He doesn't consider that even one death is inexcusable.
Ok, you are not like Paul Harvey because never has 'The Rest of the Story'
After walking 2000 miles in less than ideal situations there will, unfortunately, be those who never recover from it. This has more to do with the journey and sickness vs the current president. What do you expect everyone to be miraculously saved at the border?
Guatemalans are weak
So are the parents going to be charged with neglect and endangering their child to where he died? By the time these children get there to be treated they are too sick and this is happening due to the parents actions and the journey they forced their child to go on. childabuse
Cnn half story news.. parents are responsible
Parents should be charged with child endangerment
This is awful. And it’s going to get worse when it gets hotter down here. “Prolife administration”, my foot. 😑
BREAKING NEWS PhD deviated from Political Correctness of Radicals end up with literally insects by Google search engine MondayMotivation GameofThrones Supply by Facebook of our data to.. exceeding capabilities of Stasi (Gestapo of Communist East Germany) mondaythoughts
Oh well, stay in Guatemala 🤷
So how many more will die between now and the 2020 election SpeakerPelosi?
Not acceptable. But folks are getting used to this
All the “don’t come here illegally” jackholes are the same ones that are forcing women to have babies
This must end. We need compassion, not a wall. So tired of the fake religious and fake ProLife folks who utterly fail to love their neighbor.
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤬🤬🤬
Mortality among illegal immigrants are far below the US average.
Pro life 🙄
Bigger question is how many people have died in US from illegal aliens ?
