Eight-Year-Old Died in Texas Border Detention

An eight-year-old girl detained by border patrol in Texas has died, according to reports. The girl was said to be a student who was detained with her family. She reportedly fell ill during the time in custody, and emergency medical care was provided, as law enforcement officers indicated. Emergency services were called to the station, and she was transported to a local hospital where her death was recorded, police said in a statement. The precise reason for the family’s detention remains unclear, and the cause of the minor’s death has not been disclosed. Previously, three Mexicans were reported to have been captured near the border; authorities described them as behaving like bushes, wearing clothing suited to the terrain, and attempting to enter American territory, but they were intercepted.
