Unaccompanied Migrant Child Died in U.S. Custody But White House has Press Briefing on Infrastructure
We have a border crisis, but hey! Racist infrastructure.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirmed a child died in U.S. custody.

Officials haven’t released many details due to safety concerns but Honduran officials did:
A 17-year-old migrant child from Honduras who arrived in the U.S. without a parent or guardian has died in government custody in Florida, officials said Friday, in what is believed to be the first such death in years.
Enrique Reina, the Honduran secretary of foreign affairs, identified the child as Ángel Eduardo Maradiaga Espinoza and called for an “exhaustive investigation” into his death. Reina said the Espinoza was in Safety Harbor, Florida, a small city west of Tampa that has a shelter used to house unaccompanied children.

Do you remember what Biden said in 2019 as he ramped up his presidential campaign? I wonder if he’ll say anything like this about the child.
Biden in May of 2019.
Today as reports circulate of a migrant child death in US custody – hours after title 42 is lifted – Biden admin officials forced reporters to submit pre-written questions and ignored FOX’s question on this reported death. https://t.co/CdWRWYkOih

Instead of addressing the border issues, as usual, the White House press briefing was about..infrastructure.
But the reporters quickly jumped on the border when Karine Jean-Pierre opened the floor for questions:
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called news of the death “deeply saddening.”
“We are certainly aware of the tragic loss, and our hearts go out to the family,” Jean-Pierre said.
Jean-Pierre added that she had not spoken to President Biden about the death, and she did not know if she had been briefed on the death.
“There is a medical investigation that was opened on May 10, and so I don’t want to get ahead of that,” she said. “We’ve got to let the investigation go through.”

.@JacquiHeinrich: "On ruling in Florida last night against these releases…What's the back-up plan now?"
KJP: "So, let me just say on the ruling…Look, the way we see that–it's sabotage, pure and simple…The claims…CBP is allowing…mass release…is…categorically false" pic.twitter.com/O2gBKOuXMa

This is unbelievable. We won’t hear from Biden because he did an interview on immigration last week. Plus hearing from Mayorkas is stronger or something.

"Why haven't migrants heard a message from the president or the vice president, either them explaining the new rules or reiterating…not to come here?"

Jean-Pierre’s attitude about immigration is very “whatever” and it’s irritating. She said that mass releases aren’t happening.
Bill Melugin has the receipts.
We’ve been reporting on mass releases taking place at this spot in Brownsville for over a year now. It’s not new. Anyone claiming mass releases aren’t taking place is blatantly lying. https://t.co/1KqMhgcGP3

The death is tragic, but is the “child” really seventeen?
Yeah. I hear “dead migrant child,” I’m not thinking “nearly military age.”
“Anyone claiming mass releases aren’t taking place is blatantly lying.”
To channel Charles Laughton, “a chronic and habitual liar!”
James Calvin Ward was one of at least 18 juvenile American servicemen killed in Vietnam—five were 16, like him, 11 others were 17 and one was 15 and had forged his birth certificate to join.
Nowhere, in any history book or otherwise, have I heard them referred to as “children”.
Given the fact that millions of illegals have invaded the USA, actuarially we should expect some deaths.
And you can be sure this isn’t the first one, just the first one that somebody noticed.
Did he get the Covid Vaccine?
While real children are being passed around as sex toys
If that’s working clickbait the country is doomed.
[catastrophic] [anthropogenic] immigration reform (CAIR)
That said, a wall would mitigate progress at both ends of the bridge and throughout. Emigration reform would address root causes.
If Trump decides to focus the majority of his campaign messaging on illegal immigration, he wins re-election in a landslide.
He would, if cheating wasn’t involved.
At this point of the invasion, I’m done and I cannot generate any sympathy for these illegals. Sorry to say the left has beaten any compassion out of me.
Tough s#*t, Cleavey, but they should enter our country legally. Should they chose to violate our laws, they should expect situations like this.
AOC better break out her white outfit, and not the one with the writing on it. She needs something appropriate for her fake tears that likely are not forthcoming. These people are cruel and have no care for the people they use as chattel.
How do we know how old the “child” is? Checked their passport right? No. Birth certificate, right? No. You mean, we just took their word for it. Oh, that’s okay, they never lie about their age.
Unaccompanied Migrant Child Died in U.S. Custody But
White House has Press Briefing on InfrastructureNot Enough Of ThemMigrating across multiple countries alone stands a pretty good chance of getting you killed, at whatever age.
One wonders how many die en route, and after evading “custody.”
More people dying because the wailing classes would rather have the issue than any sort of solution.
“Enrique Reina, the Honduran secretary of foreign affairs, identified the child as Ángel Eduardo Maradiaga Espinoza and called for an “exhaustive investigation” into his death.”
Really? How about your country sucks so badly that an unaccompanied “child” decided to walk 1500 miles into the unknown to escape it and died? Exhaustive enough for you?
I mean seriously. Bummer about the kid, but you of all people have absolutely nobody to blame but yourself.
