A child is dead and the Trump administration has shown no remorse. Instead, it deflected responsibility with cheap political talking points.
A seven-year-old Guatemalan girl named Jakelin Amei Rosmery Caal Maquin died last week in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Trump administration has chosen to blame the victim and her father for the death.
This is the nation Trump has created: A country that continues to dehumanize and criminalize Central American migrants without any sense of compassion or explanation for the root causes of why people are fleeing their countries in the first place.
Jakelin died from cardiac arrest caused by severe dehydration and shock a day after she and her father turned themselves in to CBP on the U.S.-Mexico border in New Mexico.
But according to the Trump administration, her death was her fault, and it was her dad’s fault — even though government officials confirmed that, after being held for several hours in a remote CBP station, Jakelin was put on a bus for 90 minutes to be transferred to a larger border station for processing before getting any emergency medical care for her symptoms, which included vomiting.
By the time the bus stopped, so had her breathing.
A child is dead and the current administration shows no remorse. Instead, just deflections about responsibility and cheap political talking points.
Never mind that “immediate care” didn’t really apply to Jakelin’s situation: The place where she and her father turned themselves into CBP had no medical care providers and, as the secretary noted, wasn't staffed to handle the 163 people who arrived that day.
And the idea that Border Patrol is some welcoming force when migrants surrender themselves to the agency is just not true.
For years, those who report on immigration enforcement know that detention conditions and methods along the U.S.-Mexico border have been poor.
Photos of the Anetlope Wells border station where Jakelin was held were made public by CBP, and these photos would suggest that conditions were not at all ideal: They essentially show an enclosed loading dock, filled with people. We may never know what they were actually like at the time she was held.
First you BLAST a headline from an op/ed piece written by an activist who writes for "Latino Rebels" as if it had validity. Then you colorfully repeat his words. And then you show a holding area for people who are not legally in the country as if they are supposed to be detained in comfort.
Do you do all that because you really hate America or do you just let your hatred for our President take you into strange places?
Again for the 45th time - you can not - MAIL IN - a Application for Asylum!
For the 46th time - they are not in the country legally, they are in custody - that is why they may be "in cages" (by enforcement not the President). If they attempt to storm the border rather than wait in line and start to throw rocks, they may "be gassed" (not by the President). And, if their fathers provide them with no food and no water for a dangerous period of time - they may die (not be killed by the President).
You have to actually be located on US Soil/Territory
You may apply for asylum in the United States regardless of your country of origin or your current immigration status. For more information about asylum status, see the Asylum section.
If you are eligible for asylum you may be permitted to remain in the United States. To apply for Asylum, file a Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, within one year of your arrival to the United States. There is no fee to apply for asylum.
You may include your spouse and children who are in the United States on your application at the time you file or at any time until a final decision is made on your case. To include your child on your application, the child must be under 21 and unmarried. For more information see our Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal page.
VERY Important
To obtain asylum through the affirmative asylum process you must be physically present in the United States. You may apply for asylum status regardless of how you arrived in the United States or your current immigration status.
A defensive application for asylum occurs when you request asylum as a defense against removal from the U.S. For asylum processing to be defensive, you must be in removal proceedings in immigration court with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
