New facts have come out about the death of a seven-year-old girl who was in the custody of the Border Patrol.
The father says that his daughter did not show signs of distress until 5 AM, meaning that in one hour, the Border Patrol and EMS workers, treated her the best that they could and brought in a helicopter and flew her to a children’s hospital. The father was very grateful for all they tried to do.
They have had her body embalmed and are flying it back to Guatemala for burial. Her mother and siblings of the girl are in mourning.
The father of seven-year-old Jakelin Amei Rosmery Caal Maquin reportedly told the Guatemalan Consul General he had “no complaints about how Border Patrol agents treated him and his daughter.
Guatemalan Consul General Tekandi Paniagua told CNN that Nery Gilberto Caal, the father of the little girl who died on December 8 after entering the U.S. and being detained by Border Patrol agents, told him the agents did everything they possibly could do to help his daughter.
CNN’s Jake Tapper tweeted a message said the consul general said the father confirmed the timeline put forth by DHS officials and said his daughter did not show any signs of distress until about 5 a.m. when the pair boarded a bus headed to the Lordsburg Border Patrol Station.
Earlier on Saturday, Breitbart News published a detailed timeline from U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials regarding the circumstances leading from the little girl’s apprehension with her father and 161 other migrants until her tragic death hours later.
Nery Caal issued a statement on Saturday through his attorneys in which he said he was “grateful for the many first responders that tried to save young Jakelin’s life in New Mexico and Texas,” CNN reported.
That will disappoint a lot of people who have been blaming the Border Patrol for the girl’s death and have been trying to make her face their argument for totally open borders.
