House Democrats are demanding an investigation into the death of a migrant teen from the flu while in U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody.
December 6, 2019, 5:40 AMLawmakers are demanding accountability after Customs and Border Protection officials took Carlos Vasquez to a cell instead of a hospital to be checked for the flu.
A week later, Vasquez came down with a 103-degree fever and tested positive for the flu, according to an autopsy report obtained by ABC News. The report indicates he was prescribed Tamiflu the day before he died. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection patch is seen on the arm of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Mission, Texas, July 1, 2019.
The Department of Homeland Security's inspector general did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether it was investigating the case.
