The Issue

Jakelin Caal Maquin had traveled to the U.S. with her father 2,000 miles from northern Guatemala. She died in December 2018, two days after they were detained by border officials. By the time Jakelin was transported to a children's hospital in El Paso, Texas, she was vomiting, having seizures and had difficulty breathing.

The medical examiner's office in El Paso released its autopsy report on Friday showing that streptococcus bacteria was found in the girl's lungs, adrenal gland, liver and spleen. The report says the infection led to the failure of multiple organs.

the conditions in the New Mexico shelters are horrible! There is no baby food or formula or appropriate food for elderly people. Migrants would have to request water, and sometimes were not given the sufficient amount of water per day.
Many in the shelters were not able to sleep, he added, saying the shelters contained "children laying on concrete floors, in very, very cold rooms, with the lights on all night, and being interrupted with loud noise, throughout the night."

Give her family a peace of mind by getting justice for Jakelin and charge ICE and the health care workers there.
