Authorities Denied Care to 8-Year-Old Who Died in Border Patrol Custody

HeadlineJun 05, 2023

In more immigration news, an investigation into last month’s death of 8-year-old Anadith Tanay Reyes Álvarez reveals Customs and Border Protection officials refused to call an ambulance for the girl despite her history of medical problems — and even after she presented with a fever of nearly 105 degrees Fahrenheit. She’d been detained with her family by CBP for at least nine days before she died. Her mother pleaded for help but was ignored until the young girl had a seizure and was finally taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead about an hour later.
