Feds hit with $60 million claim over migrant infant who died after leaving detention center

[ffr]

Yazmin Juárez's 1-year-old daughter, Mariee, died in May. Washington-based law firm Arnold & Porter said it will file a lawsuit if the government doesn't settle its claim.

The mother of a toddler who died weeks after being released from the nation's largest family detention center filed a legal claim seeking $60 million from the U.S. government for the child's death.

Attorneys for Yazmin Juárez submitted the claim against multiple agencies Tuesday. Juárez 's 1-year-old daughter, Mariee, died in May.

Juárez 's lawyers said Mariee developed a respiratory illness while she and her mother were detained at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas. They accused U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of releasing the pair while Mariee was still sick.

The girl died six weeks later in Philadelphia.

Not just those who lost a beloved little darling. Let it snarl the courts for generations to come...bastards. That's why I call him The Cretin. The others ooze from his behind.

8. I hope the individual nurses and doctors who

"Treated" this child are on the hot seat. When licenses get put on the hot seat, maybe professionals will insist on changes to staffing, resources, and not separating children from parents who will advocate for them.

9. NK released a captive a short while before he died so he did not die on their watch.

NK released a captive a short while before he died so he did not die on their watch.

Trump's own 'babies in cages' program has learned from Rocketman Kim.

"Very honorable" is what Dotard Donald calls Kim.

10. I found mention of symptoms in another article

By the time they were released, Mariee was coughing, vomiting and battling a high fever. Juarez rushed her daughter to a hospital in Edison a day after landing at Newark Liberty International Airport on March 25, but Mariee spent her final weeks fighting for her life before she suffered a fatal hemorrhage on May 10.

I'm thinking maybe Legionnaires?

13. I hope she gets double that much.

This was murder of a child, and this is only one of them. I hope she sues Trump for every penny he's got.
