'The Trump administration turned this sixteen-year-old boy's life into a devastating statistic: the third child to die in the care of US immigration authorities in the past five months alone,' said Jess Morales Rocketto, Chair of Families Belong Together.
Immigration advocates have struck out at the Trump administration, saying President Donald Trump"should be ashamed" after a 16-year-old from Guatemala died in U.S. custody, mere days after arriving at an Office of Refugee Resettlement shelter.
In a statement, the U.S. government told Reuters that the 16-year-old had not raised any health concerns upon arrival at the shelter on April 20. The next morning, however, he became"noticeably ill, including fever, chills and a headache." In a statement responding to news of the teenager's death, immigration advocacy group Families Belong Together condemned the Trump administration over what has now become the third death of an immigrant child in five months under its watch, following the December deaths of 7-year-old Jakelin Caal Maquin and 8-year-old Felipe Alonzo-Gomez, both from Guatemala.
In the wake of the December deaths of Caal Maquin and Alonzo-Gomez, the Trump administration announced it would be rolling out policy changes to ramp up health and safety measures for immigrant children in U.S. custody, including more thorough medical checks.
