Just like the whole “kids in cages” narrative, Democrats love to make accusations or insinuations about allegedly questionable actions by GOP presidential administrations, which either actually happened or started under Democratic presidential administrations.
We’ve reached that point yet again, this time over a tragic incident involving a young girl who reportedly died while in the custody of Customs and Border Protection in 2023.
This May 2025 story from the New York Times provides background on what allegedly happened:
In a wrongful death claim filed with the federal government on Thursday, lawyers for the family offer the most detailed public account yet of the life and death of the child, Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez, and her family’s efforts to obtain answers about her care in federal custody.
[…]Anadith, a Panamanian national, was diagnosed with sickle cell disease and a heart condition at a young age. When she was 5, she traveled with her father to Spain for open-heart surgery and returned to Panama. The family made their way up through Mexico and sought to cross into the United States in May 2023 in hopes of providing safety and a better life for their daughter, according to the complaint.Her parents, who are Honduran, are members of a long-persecuted Afro-Indigenous population known as Garifuna, and had fled their own country before their daughter was born.[…]On May 9, 2023, she, her parents and two siblings were detained alongside other migrants at the border near Brownsville, Texas. The family was then taken to a processing center in Donna, a nearby city, where security camera footage showed her parents handed over their daughter’s medical records to border officials in a medical screening area, the claim states. But medical personnel there did not properly assess her medical history or communicate the details of her medical conditions to the staff at the facility in Harlingen where the family ended up, investigators have found.[…]Between the evening of May 14 and her death on May 17, an internal investigation found, medical professionals at the holding facility in Harlingen saw Anadith at least nine times. A nurse practitioner who saw the child told internal investigators that she dismissed three or four requests from Anadith’s mother to call an ambulance or take the child to the hospital.
Anytime a child dies, it’s heartbreaking. What compounds it is when deceitful politicians try to score cheap and dishonest political points off of it in an effort to hurt their political opposition.
Absolutely no one reading this will be surprised to learn that Senate Judiciary Democrats have done exactly that in this case:
Online sleuths did the necessary digging on this story and responded accordingly:
Seriously. There is no low to which they will not stoop. This is just one of many examples.
