Us Border Patrol Custody

The number of migrant children in Border Patrol facilities has been steadily rising, an analysis of US government data shows, as record numbers crossed the US-Mexico border in July, renewing a politically sensitive issue for President Joe Biden.

A 16-year-old Guatemalan boy died on Monday in US Border Patrol custody in Texas, US officials said, making him the fifth Guatemalan minor to die after being apprehended at the US-Mexico border since December.

The 7-year-old Guatemalan girl who died in US Border Patrol custody was healthy before she arrived, and her family is now calling for an "objective and thorough" investigation into her death, a representative for the family said Saturday.

A 7-year-old girl from Guatemala died of dehydration and shock after she was taken into Border Patrol custody last week for crossing from Mexico into the United States illegally with her father and a large group of migrants along a remote span of New Mexico desert, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said on Thursday.
