A woman suing the U.S. because her daughter died while in federal custody testifies before Congress: 'It is painful for me to relive this experience... but I am here because the world should know what is happening to so many children in ICE detention.'
A woman who is suing the U.S. government because her daughter died after they were held in federal custody, testified before Congress on Wednesday, at a hearing aimed at reviewing conditions at border facilities amid increased criticism of the conditions at certain migrant holding centers.
A congressional oversight subcommittee convened Wednesday to review the recent allegations of child neglect and overcrowding at border facilities. Through a translator, Juarez explained that her daughter was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and diagnosed with a viral lung infection. From there, the child was transferred to another children's hospital.
When asked about the allegations made by Juarez on Wednesday, an ICE spokesperson said that they were unable to comment"on the specifics of pending legal claims against the agency" and declined to comment on the testimony, but went on to say that the agency"takes very seriously the health, safety and welfare of those in our care."
There were 104,344 people who either tried to cross illegally or approached a port of entry without proper documentation, according to the Department of Homeland Security. This is compared to 144,278 individuals who attempted to cross in May.
