House Democrats are demanding an investigation into the death of a migrant teen from the flu while in U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody.

December 6, 2019, 5:40 AMLawmakers are demanding accountability after Customs and Border Protection officials took Carlos Vasquez to a cell instead of a hospital to be checked for the flu.

A week later, Vasquez came down with a 103-degree fever and tested positive for the flu, according to an autopsy report obtained by ABC News. The report indicates he was prescribed Tamiflu the day before he died. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection patch is seen on the arm of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Mission, Texas, July 1, 2019.

The Department of Homeland Security's inspector general did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether it was investigating the case.

Didn't trump just order no flu vaccine for the border concentration camps?

The Republican Administration is busy studying toilet flushes and light bulbs!!!

many kids die from the flue. Illegals come to our country sick and the democrats don't care unless they can get some thing from it, The teen died in the hospital, House democrats will get nothing when we have kids dying from the flue

Are we going to have to have an investigation into into these too?

Didn't Pence say everything was peachy down there?

And then there was a uproar from Republicans when Barron was even mentioned... Talk about damn privilege.

Put the file in queue behind the benghazi investigation

Because nobody ever dies from the flu in this country. 🙄

At least the Democrats are working

While realDonaldTrump , FLOTUS HouseGOP & SenateGOP are demanding an investigation into Barron’s feelings being hurt. Hypocritical Group of Fake Family Values.

Really feeling the Christmas spirit in this thread...

BLAME IT ON POTUS PRISONERS NEED HEALTH CARE TOO

It's a tragedy, but not a criminal act. Most people don't die from the flu. The real crime here is politicians using this poor kids death as a twisted PR piece. Disgusting

Guess it's time for your FLOTUS melanie famous jacket IReallyDontCareDoYou amirite?.

Oh really?, ... and I suppose they want someone to wash their private parts for them too!

Good. Hold ice accountable

The House Democrats are truly desperate. Must be losing all hope .

Damn that flu! Are they sure it wasn't TB, typhoid and all those other diseases that come along with ppl sneaking across the border?

Migrant teen, or unlawful border crossing teen? Criminals can go to a cell and get treatment in jail. We have thousands of criminals in our prison system that get treatment in lockup.

ABC. ONE AND ALL PRAY. SINCERELY SHELLIE

House Democrats need to look in the mirror and ask what can they do to fix this problem. Working it out in congress to pass laws that fix this.

While turning a blind eye to the 1000's of American citizens murdered by immigrants every year. DoNothingDemocrats

realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr you are worried about the mention of a name yet your family has this boy's blood all over its hands. Another child dead under trump..
