‘The father has told officials he has no complaints about how border patrol agents treated him and his daughter’

EXCERPT:

LAVANDERA: “According to DHS officials and the father, the young girl first started showing signs of distress and vomiting during 90-minute bus ride to a Border Patrol station in Lordsburg, New Mexico. The girl died about 27 hours after being taken into custody. The cause hasn't been determined. The father has told officials he has no complaints about how Border Patrol agents treated him and his daughter and that he believes everyone around them did everything possible to save the girl’s life. The girl’s death has sparked intense criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration policy. Critics argue migrants are being kept from entering through legal checkpoints to request asylum and pushed into remote dangerous areas.”
