A 2½-year-old Guatemalan boy apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border died Tuesday night in El Paso after several weeks in the hospital, according to the Guatemalan Consulate and another person with direct knowledge of the case.
Record numbers of families from Guatemala and other northern Central American countries are surrendering at the border and seeking asylum, with nearly 100,000 crossing in April, the highest monthly total in a decade. The White House has asked Congress for $4.5 billion in aid and increased enforcement, saying the influx is risking lives, while advocates for immigrants have raised concern about health and safety conditions in cramped federal holding facilities.
On April 6, the official said, his mother alerted agents that he was sick. An ambulance took him to Providence Hospital in Horizon City that day, and officials transferred him the next day to Providence Children’s Hospital in El Paso. Hundreds of people have been taken to the hospital. Some have arrived with preexisting health concerns, including influenza and liver disease.
'pro-life?'
This are Kids!!!!!!!! Shame on this terrible corrupt country.
Assholes
KenPaxtonTX GovAbbott tedcruz JohnCornyn michaelcburgess is this what pro life looks to you? If all lives matter what about these innocent children?
They crossed illegally, the child's mother alerted authorities he was sick, he was taken fo a hospital where he received the free medical care liberals dream about. What do want?
realDonaldTrump killed another child. There fixed it for you.
Pure racism.
The kid died after weeks in the hospital............... Has nothing to do with border patrol......
Pro-life?
Dear Conservatives, We'll respect your opinions on potential life when you start respecting the life that's already here. Sincerely, Everyone who isn't an asshat.
How do you “apprehend” a toddler? We’re they on the run? Did they commit a crime? Can toddlers have mens rea?
💔💔💔
Why the holy hell would you use the verb apprehended for a toddler? Is he a criminal mastermind? Try jailed. Detained. Imprisoned.
Well done America you heartless psychotics
It's known as the Trump Abortion.
How is a toddler 'apprehended'? This is horrible. Where is the humanity? The offenders should be prosecuted for manslaughter and face prison.
Two year old criminal apprehended dies. Wonder what his crime was?
They’re apprehended April 3rd, mom tells CBP agents the child is sick on April 6th and he’s immediately transferred to a hospital. Trying to understand the basis for all the rhetoric.
Another child Trump will have to answer for.
She crossed the border while he was feverish and as soon as she was apprehended,(because she broke the law), she advised the BP agent he was sick and he was immediately transported to the hospital by ambulance and later diagnosed with pneumonia. How is that our fault
If it were an animal shelter where puppies were dying, people would go crazy.
MAGA!
If you can read his headline without throwing up, you’re stronger than me. Newsflash: God is not white or American. The people responsible for this will burn in Hell.
'Pro-life.'
An adult chose to make a treacherous trip across the border with a child and alerts CBP the child is sick after taken into custody for three days. The child is then taken to the hospital for care. This is CBP and realDonaldTrump fault how? “Toddler dies after weeks in hospital “
Lord have mercy! Unacceptable for a 'developed' nation like ours...
“Toddler apprehended.” More YellowJournalism headline trash from WashPo
Alabama lawmakers are going to be really mad about this, right? Right?
“Late term abortion”, American style.
Y'all REALLY tweeted this😶
Damn
Same people voting for the Wall.. where children are dying... are the same people who are voting for Anti Abortion laws gofigure
“After weeks in hospital” he was getting medical care he died any way there was nothing they could have done
“Toddler apprehended”. Let’s just let that sink in from the WaPo. Really? The baby was 2 1/2. Y’all suck with all of the tentacles of a million octopuses.
To the mooks compare this to pro life agenda. The baby was weeks in the hospital. Stop acting like the border patrol took the baby and spiked on the ground like a football. The tax payers and US government tried to save the baby
“Apprehended”? C’mon Washington Post, you can do better than that. How about, “Asylum-seeking toddler dies after weeks in custody at the US border.”
Bring us your criminals, your diseased longed for by Democrats longing to be omnipotoent.
This is very sad. This is extraordinarily backwards. Like it or not, this is now part of your historical narrative, America.
Facts: CBP apprehended mother and child April 3rd. CBP discovered the child was ill on April 6th. CBP informed the mother. CBP took the child to the hospital. CBP released the mother April 8th. CBP treated the child for 39 days. The child died May 15th. Liberals: HOW DARE THEY!
Damn where’s the pro-life crowd at
Alllivesmatter prolife
So, GOP are you sure you’re Pro Life?!?!?!
Looks like gop is the leader of post birth abortion.
“Pro-life”
Where were Mom and Dad?
Don't apprehend toddlers.
I am sure once an autopsy is performed it will prove that he came to this country sick. These people need to stop dragging their children thousands of miles
I guess the dudes in Alabama are up in arms
I’m having trouble with people who have more empathy for fertilized eggs than a dead toddler.
jonathanjewel Funny how Republicans are only pro-life when white children are involved.
Keep these illegals out of America!!!
This is called child abuse for dragging child to boarder where are the parents!!!
Child never should have traveled to the border in the first place!
I really do not think Republicans can claim to be pro life.
I can imagine how many died along the way and not reported on. Only when a child reaches the US is the media interested.
This every life is precious GOP policy clearly ends when a child can walk.
Smugglers fault
Every life is precious...until it is no longer housed in a woman's body.
😢
Yawn! Start reporting about actual American children, not kids that were drug 3000 miles across a desert!
If that toddler was just a little younger and in the womb, then they’d care.
'Toddler apprehended...' JFC! Are we so complacent that a phrase like this washes over us? What fucking crime did the toddler commit that he needed to be 'apprehended?'
We only protect white fetuses
Why a child? Just because he was poor
The left-wing trolls trying to pretend like these children are dying because of the detention just proves that they really don't give a shit about these kids.
Entering the country sick and expecting the USA to perform miracles and cure them.
This is on you, GOP! Good work,senatemajldr
“Think of the babies!” screams the so-called prolife movement while attacking women’s healthcare and standing around as Trump’s toddler prisoners die and kids are mowed down in schools. gop hypocrites
So you're saying we gave the illegal child healthcare paid for by the American taxpayer, yet we are horrible racist people. Got it thanks
Here we go again. GOP who claims they care about a heartbeat in the uterus, could give a shit after the heartbeat is born. Not my America PissedOffPeaches BlueWave2020
Republicans....don't all applaud at once..
😰
