Charge ICE for death of 8 year old boy, Felipe Gómez Alonzo


Charge ICE for death of 8 year old boy, Felipe Gómez Alonzo
The Issue
An 8-year-old Guatemalan boy, Felipe Gómez Alonzo who died while in custody of the U.S. border patrol on Christmas Eve died of the flu and a bacterial infection.
The father has said that the boy was in good health when they were taken into custody. But days later he had flu symptoms and was brought to a hospital, where he died.
It appears Felipe got sick after authorities moved him from El Paso, Texas, to Alamogordo, New Mexico, because of overcrowding.
Gomez was the second Guatemalan migrant child to die in U.S. custody in December 2018.
now we demand justice for Felipe and his family! And we must charge ICE and the heath workers for negating medical help.
