Death report during detention of 8-year-old immigrant girl in the United States: Lack of security facilities in US border detention facilities | Immigration | Detention
US border patrol soldiers monitor large numbers of immigrants
On June 26th, Overseas Network reported that the recent investigation by the US Department of Homeland Security into detention facilities for illegal immigrants at the US Mexico border shows that these facilities are resource scarce and poorly operated, unable to ensure the safety of the lives of illegal immigrants.
On May 17th, an 8-year-old illegal immigrant girl died while being detained by the US border patrol on the US Mexico border. After the accident, the US Department of Homeland Security began investigating illegal immigration detention facilities at the border.
In a memo this month, investigators wrote that the facilities that detained the girl and her family "lack medical services and accountability mechanisms to provide safe, effective, humane, and evidence-based medical care.".

According to reports, the girl contracted influenza after being detained for four days, but investigators found it almost impossible to track patient data in detention facilities. The investigators stated in the memo, "According to written records, guardians and medical staff have never had conversations regarding the health risks, major medical issues, and other matters of the detainees."
There are incidents of underage illegal immigrants dying during their detention in the United States. On May 10th, a 17-year-old Honduras teenager also died in an immigration detention facility in Florida.
