“DHS still hasn’t completed these investigations, which could shed meaningful light onto the resources needed at the border and prevent these types of deaths from happening again,” said Representative Xochitl Torres Small.
U.S. representatives in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus have called on the Department of Homeland Security to complete and make public the results of its investigation into the deaths of two migrant children who were in the custody of federal immigration authorities in December.
Last month, authorities in Guatemala announced that Gomez Alonzo, who was 8-years-old, had died from the flu and a bacterial infection. Torres Small and 16 other representatives signed a letter addressed to McAleenan calling on the new DHS chief to expedite the investigation into the deaths of the two children.
"In your new capacity as Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, you are now responsible for ensuring that these investigations are completed and reported to Congress expeditiously," the group told McAleenan.
