An internal investigation by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection after the death of an 8-year-old migrant revealed contracted medical staff did not review the child’s health history.
The family arrived at Harlingen Station for medical isolation on May 14 after Alvarez was diagnosed with the flu at a temporary holding facility, according to CBP.
During the nearly three days at the location, contracted medical personnel reported nine separate encounters with the little girl and her mother, who complained of a fever (104.9 degrees, according to CBP), flu-like symptoms, and pain. She was given medications, a cold pack and a cold shower, according to the CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility.
