The Department of Health and Human Services says an unaccompanied migrant teen died in U.S. custody. This comes hours after the Biden administration ended the COVID emergency and Title 42 was lifted, causing some migrants to be denied entry to U.S.
The Department of Health and Human Services confirmed on Friday that an unaccompanied migrant child died in U.S. custody.
"The Government of Honduras, through the Embassy in Washington, is in contact with the family and has requested that ORR and HHS carry out an exhaustive investigation of the case and apply the full weight of the law to those responsible,” Reina said."This terrible incident highlights the importance of working together [with the U.S.] on the bilateral migration agenda that focuses on unaccompanied minors to find solutions.
During Friday's White House Press Briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that she has not spoken to President Joe Biden on the matter but they are aware of the child's death.
