10-Year-Old Migrant Child Dies While in U.S. Custody — Becoming 6th Such Fatality, Authorities Say

A 10-year-old migrant child died while in the care of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement in September of last year, according to department spokesman Mark Weber.

The girl is now the sixth migrant child known to have recently died after journeying to the US and being apprehended by federal authorities. Her death predates the five children known to have died.

In a statement, Weber said the 10-year-old girl entered the office’s care in San Antonio in March 2018. She had a history of congenital heart defects.
