Seven-year-old Guatemalan girl dies of dehydration after being arrested by US Border Patrol

A seven-year-old girl who crossed the United States’s southern border died after being taken into the custody of the Border Patrol. The unnamed child started having seizures just eight hours after she was arrested by border agents in New Mexico last Thursday, after entering the country with her father at an illegal crossing. In a statement, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said emergency medics who responded to the seizures decided to fly her to a hospital in El Paso, Texas.
