A 16-year-old migrant boy dies in US custody.
A 16-year-old migrant boy from Guatemala traveling without his parents has died in Texas after being held in U.S. custody, a spokeswoman with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Tuesday.
"Following several days of intensive care, the minor passed away at the hospital on April 30," according to a statement released by HHS spokeswoman Evelyn Stauffer. The massive influx of unaccompanied minors in recent months has put a big strain on the government, which has had to turn to privately run shelters to care for the children. The White House on Tuesday said it needs another $4.5 billion to handle the surge of undocumented migrants at the border, with 2.8 billion of that amount going toward providing shelter to unaccompanied children and teens.
