8-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies in Border Patrol Custody After Repeated Pleas for Medical Help

An 8-year-old migrant girl died in Border Patrol custody in Texas after agents repeatedly denied requests to take her to the hospital.
The girl suffered from congenital heart disease, sickle cell anemia, and influenza but did not receive proper medical care.
The girl's mother says her daughter was in severe pain, had trouble breathing and walking, and cried as she begged agents to help her.
The family was detained in overcrowded conditions for nine days, despite a policy limiting detention to 72 hours.
The death has highlighted concerns over detention conditions, lack of medical care, and agents denying requests for humanitarian assistance.
